He recounts their journey from Mount Sinai to Kadesh Barnea, emphasizing the significance of their past experiences and the importance of obedience to God. Moses reminds the people of the twelve spies sent to scout the land, highlighting the fears and doubts that arose from their reports. He urges the Israelites to remember their rebellion against God’s command, warning them of the consequences of their lack of faith. This chapter sets the stage for the renewal of the covenant and the call to trust in God's promises as they move forward.
