This event occurs after the Israelites disobeyed God's command to take possession of the land and instead listened to the negative report of the ten spies. Their return signifies a physical and spiritual turning back, highlighting the importance of repentance in the biblical narrative.<p><b>and wept before the LORD</b><br>The weeping indicates deep sorrow and regret for their disobedience. In the ancient Near Eastern context, weeping was a common expression of mourning and repentance. This act of weeping before the LORD shows their acknowledgment of sin and desire for reconciliation. However, it also underscores the seriousness of their rebellion, as mere emotional displays are insufficient without true repentance and obedience.<p><b>but He would not listen to your voice</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the consequences of disobedience and lack of faith. Despite their cries, God did not heed their pleas because their repentance was not accompanied by genuine faith and obedience. This reflects a broader biblical principle seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/59-2.htm">Isaiah 59:2</a>, where sin creates a barrier between God and His people. It serves as a warning that God's patience has limits when His commands are persistently ignored.<p><b>or give ear to you</b><br>The repetition of God's refusal to listen underscores the gravity of the situation. It highlights the justice of God in dealing with His people according to their actions. This refusal to give ear is a fulfillment of the warning given earlier in <a href="/deuteronomy/1.htm">Deuteronomy 1</a>, where God made clear the consequences of their lack of trust. It serves as a reminder of the importance of aligning one's actions with God's will to maintain a relationship with Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who were delivered from Egypt and are now on the brink of entering the Promised Land.
