Context of Deuteronomy 1:24

22All of you came to me and said, “Let’s send men ahead of us to gather information about the land for us. Have them report to us about the route we should take and the cities we’ll come to.” 23It seemed like a good idea to me. So I chose 12 of your men, one from each tribe. They left and went into the mountains. When they came to the Eshcol Valley, they explored it. 25They took some of the region’s fruit with them and brought it back to us. They reported, “The land that the Lord our God is giving us is good.” 26But you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God and refused to go.

Commentaries on Deuteronomy 1:24

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 19-46Verses 19-46 Moses reminds the Israelites of their march from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea, through that great and terrible wilderness. He shows how near they were to a happy settlement in Canaan. It will aggravate the eternal ruin of hypocrites, that they were not far from the kingdom of God.
