What Did The Spies Do Wrong?

What Did The Spies Do Wrong?

We know God wasn't pleased with the spies' report to Moses. Due to their actions, an entire generation would die in the desert, never entering the Promised Land. But what exactly did the spies do wrong? The spies told Moses that the land of Israel 'flows with milk and honey' and was inhabited by strong peoples – weren't they just telling the truth? Why was God blaming the spies for reporting their experience?

Join Beth Lesch and Ami Silver as they explore Moses' retelling and of the spies and discover their real failure and their children's opportunity to redeem their sin.
