23. And then, when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, telling you: "Go up and take possession of the land that I’m giving you," you disobeyed the Lord your God’s command. You didn’t trust him. You didn’t obey God’s voice.
24. You’ve been rebellious toward the Lord from the day I met you.
25. But I fell on my knees in the Lord’s presence forty days and forty nights, lying flat out, because the Lord planned on wiping you out.
