Canaan – “The Promised Land”

November 13, 2016 By Roy Pennycoff Leave a Comment

God provided a path, for the Israelites, from a life of hardship and servitude under the Egyptian government to a land that was favorable for sustaining life.  A land that would enable the Israelites to reflect God’s presence and power.

God told the Israelites to go in and possess the land.  The Israelites wanted a scouting party to explore the strengths and weaknesses of this new land.  God instructed Moses to select a leader from each of the tribes for the mission.

All twelve spies reported that the land was fertile; but, ten reported that the inhabitants were stronger; and they convinced the Israelites to turn back.  As a result of this choice, the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for the next 40 years. [Bible: Deuteronomy 1:22, Numbers 13:1-33]
