Context of Deuteronomy 1:27
25And they took in their hands some of the fruit of the land and brought it down to us, and brought us word again and said, 'It is a good land that the Lord our God is giving us.' 26"Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the Lord your God.

Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying, "The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to heaven.
