📚 Historical Context

In the book of Numbers, the Israelites had been freed from Egypt and were wandering in the desert after receiving the Law at Mount Sinai. After the spies returned from scouting Canaan and reported its challenges, the people rebelled against God and Moses, refusing to trust in His promise to give them the land. As a result, God declared that this unbelieving generation would die in the wilderness and not enter the Promised Land.
