When we turn to the Book of Numbers in the Old Testament, we see the people of Israel about to cross the Jordan River into the land of Canaan after escaping from Egypt. Before the people of Israel entered the land of Canaan, however, Moses first sent out scouts. One man was selected from each of the tribes, for a total of 12 spies. Moses then said to these men, “Draw a map of the land of Canaan, and report everything you see to me.” The twelve men then left for the land of Canaan to spy out the land, they drew a map, and brought a cluster of grapes back with them so large that it took two men to carry it. They then reported to Moses the following: “The land of Canaan is a very fertile and wonderful place to live in. The grapes are so huge that it took two men to carry a cluster like this, and so you can see just how bountiful the land is. But, although the land is very fertile, the tribes there are too big and strong for us. There also are Nephilim (giants), the descendants of Anak. Although the land of Canaan is a great place to live in, we look like grasshoppers compared to its inhabitants. So, if we enter into that land, we will all be killed. Therefore, it would be better for us to pack up and return to Egypt. We will be completely wiped out if we enter the land of Canaan.” Ten of the spies had a report like this. Despite completing their mission successfully, they reported negatively, as they were faithless.
