²² “^(A)Then all of you came near to me and said, ‘Let us send men before us, that they may search out the land for us and bring back to us word of the way by which we should go up and the cities which we shall enter.’

²³ When Yahweh sent you from ^(A)Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘^(B)Go up and possess the land which I have given you,’ then you rebelled against the ^[a]command of Yahweh your God; ^(C)you did not believe Him, and you did not listen to His voice.
