SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:9
Cuando subieron hasta la arroyada de Escol, y vieron la tierra desanimaron el corazón de los hijos de Israel, para no venir a la tierra que el SEÑOR les había dado.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol , etc.] That is, when they went up the hill, for they were bid to go up into the mountain, and proceeded on into the country, until they came to the valley or brook, of Eshcol, so called from the cluster of grapes they there cut down, and brought along with them, ( Numbers 13:17,23,24) and saw the land ; searching it for the space of forty days: they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel ; by telling them that there were giants in the land, and that the people in common were strong, and their cities walled, and that they were not able to go up against them and overcome them; and by this means they disheartened the people: that they should not go, into the land which the Lord had given them ; and this Moses feared, and suggests would be the consequence of the request the two tribes now made.
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.
