Israel keeps pulling away from God like a stubborn cow that won't stay put. So now the LORD is going to let them wander around like a lost lamb in a huge field with nowhere to go.

The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for forty years until all the fighting men who had left Egypt died off, because they didn't obey what the LORD told them to do. The LORD had sworn that he wouldn't let them see the promised land—the land flowing with milk and honey that he had promised to give their ancestors.

I'm doing this so I can reach the hearts of my people Israel, because they've completely distanced themselves from me by chasing after other things they worship instead.
