When Moses told all of this to the People of Israel, they mourned long and hard. But early the next morning they started out for the high hill country, saying, “We’re here; we’re ready—let’s go up and attack the land that GOD promised us. We sinned, but now we’re ready.” But Moses said, “Why are you crossing GOD’s command yet again? This won’t work. Don’t attack. GOD isn’t with you in this—you’ll be beaten badly by your enemies. The Amalekites and Canaanites are ready for you and they’ll kill you. Because you have left off obediently following GOD, GOD is not going to be with you in this.”
