Deuteronomy 1:26-33 - Disobedience At Kadesh Barnea

26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God; 27 and ye murmured in your tents and said, Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite, to destroy us. 28 Where shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, This people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 30 The LORD your God who goes before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did with you in Egypt before your eyes; 31 and in the wilderness thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went until ye came into this place. 32 Yet with all this ye did not believe in the LORD your God, 33 who went in the way before you to search you out a place to pitch your tents, with fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and with a cloud by day.
