    Twelve spies were sent to scout the Promised Land, one from each tribe. They found grapes, milk, and honey but reported that the inhabitants were giants. Caleb and Joshua had a positive report and urged the people to take the land despite obstacles. However, the people listened to the other spies and wanted to stone Caleb and Joshua. As punishment for their lack of faith, God declared that generation would wander in the wilderness for 40 years and never enter Canaan, except for Caleb and Joshua who trusted God.
