Numbers 14:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 14:6

4 So they said to one another, ^a“Let us select a leader and ^breturn to Egypt.”

5 Then Moses and Aaron¹ fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

6 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes;

7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: ^a“The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.

8 If the Lord ^adelights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ^b‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’

9 Only ^ado not rebel against the Lord, ^bnor fear the people of the land, for ^cthey are our bread; their protection has departed from them, ^dand the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.”
