'All the congregation raised a loud cry...', 'all the people of Israel murmured...', 'all
the congregation said to stone them...' (1-2,10). Was there any 'light
at the end of the tunnel'? Yes! - 'The Lord... will bring us into this
land' (8). With the promise, there was also the warning: 'Do not rebel
against the Lord' (9). Though angry, God remained patient: 'How long will this people despise Me? How long
will they not believe in Me?' (11). He was waiting patiently for a
change of heart. Moses prayed for mercy without presuming on it: 'He
will by no means clear the guilty' (18-19). God announces His pardon
(20). Nevertheless, there may be times when God says, 'Enough is enough -
It's time for a new beginning': Only Caleb, Joshua and the 'little
ones' would enter the land (30-31): No one else! Not even Moses!
