The Ungrateful Children of Israel

Joshua son of Nun 
and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
who were among those
who had explored the land,
tore their clothes 

and said to the entire Israelite assembly,
"The land we passed through and explored
is exceedingly good.
If the Lord is pleased with us,
He will lead us into that land,
a land flowing with milk and honey,
and will give it to us.
Only do not rebel against the Lord.
And do not be afraid of the people of the land,
because we will swallow them up.
Their protection is gone,
but the Lord is with us.
Do not be afraid of them.

But the whole assembly talked about stoning them.
(Numbers 14:6-10)
