Context of Deuteronomy 1:27
25Taking with them some of the fruit of the land, they brought it down to us and reported, “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 in fear. They say, ‘The people are stronger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky.
