Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept. …

For the Israelites had wandered in the wilderness forty years, until all the nation’s men of war who had come out of Egypt had died, since they did not obey the LORD. So the LORD vowed never to let them see the land He had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.

They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
