SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:8

Así hicieron vuestros padres, cuando los envié desde Cades-barnea para que viesen la tierra.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 8. Thus did your fathers , etc.] Meaning not particularly and only the fathers of these two tribes he was speaking to, but of them and the other tribes also, who acted much such a part; did not choose to go into the good land to possess it, when they were bid to do it, but were for sending spies first, which brought an ill report of it, and discouraged the people from going into it; the history of which Moses here gives: when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land ; called only Kadesh, ( Numbers 13:26) the reason of the name (see Gill on “ Numbers 32:13”).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-15 - The proposal showed disregard to the land of Canaan, distrust of the Lord's promise, and unwillingness to encounter the difficulties an dangers of conquering and driving out the inhabitants of that land Moses is wroth with them. It will becomes any of God's Israel to sin down unconcerned about the difficult and perilous concerns of their brethren, whether public or personal. He reminds them of the fata consequences of the unbelief and faint-heartedness of their fathers when they were, as themselves, just ready to enter Canaan. If me considered as they ought what would be the end of sin, they would be afraid of the beginning of it.
