After the report of the spies, the Israelites doubted God's promise and expressed a desire to return to Egypt. This lack of trust led to God's judgment that the current generation would not enter the Promised Land. This serves as a reminder of the importance of faith and obedience in the believer's life.<p><b>in which I swore to settle you</b><br>God's promise to give the land of Canaan to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a central theme in the Old Testament. This promise is first articulated in <a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7</a> and reiterated throughout the patriarchal narratives. The land is not just a physical territory but a symbol of God's covenant and faithfulness. The failure of the Israelites to enter the land at this time underscores the conditional nature of experiencing God's promises, which require faith and obedience.<p><b>except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun</b><br>Caleb and Joshua are highlighted as exceptions due to their faithfulness and trust in God's promise. Unlike the other spies, they believed that God would enable Israel to conquer the land despite the formidable inhabitants. Caleb's faith is later rewarded with a specific inheritance in the land (<a href="/joshua/14-6.htm">Joshua 14:6-14</a>). Joshua, as Moses' successor, leads Israel into the Promised Land, prefiguring Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew), whose name means "The Lord is salvation" and who leads believers into the ultimate promised rest. Their faithfulness serves as a model for believers to trust in God's promises despite challenges.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/c/caleb_son_of_jephunneh.htm">Caleb son of Jephunneh</a></b><br>One of the twelve spies sent to explore Canaan.
