This episode explores the Israelites' journey to the southern border of Canaan. As they reach Kadesh, internal conflicts arise, with Miriam and the congregation questioning Moses's leadership. God instructs Moses to send twelve spies to Canaan. Their report of the land's richness incites fear among the congregation, leading to rebellion. Two spies, Caleb and Joshua, demonstrate faith in God's promise to conquer the land, but their encouragement is met with threats. The Israelite rebellion culminates in God's judgement: the Israelites will wander in the wilderness for 40 years, with only Caleb and Joshua surviving.
NOTE: The tribe of Levi may have been excluded from the judgment on the congregation (Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was almost certainly above 20, Levi had no spy representative among the 12, and Levites may have been exempted from military service)
