The Israelites were punished to wander in the wilderness for 40 years, one year for each day the spies explored Canaan, with all the doubting spies dying except for Joshua and Caleb who trusted in God.

Discussion B. Today we will be talking about spies. What are spies? Have you seen a
topics spy (on tv or in a movie)? What do they do? (They go on a mission on
enemy territory to find out about their enemy… they give a report on )
C. Our lesson is about 2 spies named Joshua and Caleb. They were not
ordinary spies who reported what they saw. They were spies who
trusted God and were not afraid of what they saw with their eyes.
1. After leaving Egypt, the freed Hebrew slaves loved through the
wilderness on their way to the land God had promised them.
As they approached Canaan, they stopped in the wilderness at
a place called Kadesh Barnea. The Lord told Moses to select a leader
from each of the 12 tribes to go and spy out the land ahead.
2. Moses chose a leader from each tribe. (Their names were Shammua,
Shaphat, Igal, Palti, Gaddiel, Gaddi, Ammiel, Sethur, Nahbi and Geuel,
Joshua and Caleb).
3. Moses told them to find out whether the people in Canaan were
strong or weak. How big were their towns and were they fortified? Was
the soil fertile or poor? He also asked them to bring back some fruit
from the land.
4. The twelve spies set out for the Promised Land. They travelled forty
days looking at all the wonderful things the land had to offer. They cut
some grapes from a vine and took some pomegranates. The grapes were
so huge, two people had to carry it with a pole (like a lechon).
5. After 40 days, they returned to their camp. The spies reported, ‘The
land does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who
live there are powerful, and the cities are large and fortified. One of the
spies, Caleb, silenced everyone and said, ‘We should go up and take the
land, for we can certainly do it.’ (Remember that God had already
promised this land to them, and Caleb was confident and trusted God
that if He says it is theirs, then they can take it.)
6. Ten of the spies disagreed: ‘We can’t attack these people, they are
stronger than us. All the people we saw are huge. Compared to them we
seemed like grasshoppers.’
7. That night the Israelites grumbled and wept. They began to whine and
complain. They said, “God cannot help us. We should go back to Egypt
and be slaves again.”
8. Two of the spies, Joshua and Caleb, stood up and said, ‘The land we
explored is exceedingly good. The Lord will lead us into that land
flowing with milk and honey, and give it to us. Don’t rebel against God or
be afraid. The Lord is with us not them. Just as those listening were
muttering about stoning Joshua and Caleb, the glory of the
Lord appeared.
9. God was angry. He told Moses that He would punish their rebellion
by keeping them in the wilderness for 40 years, one year for each day
the spies had been in Canaan.
10. The ten spies who brought a bad report died of a plague. Only Joshua
and Caleb survived - the spies who trusted in God to keep His promises
and give them the land.
11. For the next forty years the Israelites wandered around in the
wilderness. All those who rebelled against God died. A new generation
grew up and they were a generation willing to trust God and take the
land God had promised to them – under the leadership of Joshua,
supported by Caleb.
