Context of Deuteronomy 1:27
25They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, carried it down to us, and brought us word: “It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us.” 26But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.

Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying: ‘The people are larger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the heavens.
