Notes

Numbers 13:30

Caleb and Joshua (see 14:6, 10, 30) gave a more positive report about the land than the other spies did (compare 14:31–33).

Numbers 13:1–14:45

Twelve spies explored the fertile land of Canaan and found strong enemies defending it. Earlier chapters show Israel's disobedience, hinting at future failures. The Israelites did not have the obedience, courage, or faith to capture the land. So, the Lord made them spend 40 years in the Wilderness of Sinai. That generation did not receive their inheritance in the promised land.
