Context of Deuteronomy 1:27

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.

Our own men have discouraged us by saying, ‘The people there are taller and stronger than we are. The cities are big with sky-high walls! We even saw the people of Anak there.’ ” 29Then I said to you, “Don’t tremble. Don’t be afraid of them.
