Portal:Bible/Featured chapter/Numbers 14
The community rails against Moses and Aaron. God threatens to strike them with pestilence, but Moses asks God to pardon them. God swears that none will see the Promised Land, except Caleb and Joshua. The Israelites repent and set out to the Promised Land, but Moses tells them they will not succeed without God in their midst. They march forward anyway, and the Amalekites and the Canaanites deal them a shattering blow.
