Israel’s Refusal to Enter the Land^(A)

¹⁹ “So we departed from Horeb, ^(B)and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw on the way to the mountains of the Amorites, as the Lord our God had commanded us. Then ^(C)we came to Kadesh Barnea.

² It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by way of Mount Seir ^(A)to Kadesh Barnea.

¹⁵ who ^(A)led you through that great and terrible wilderness, ^(B)in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; ^(C)who brought water for you out of the flinty rock;

²⁶ Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at ^(A)Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

¹² And the children of Israel set out from the ^(A)Wilderness of Sinai on ^(B)their journeys; then the cloud settled down in the ^(C)Wilderness of Paran.
