Moses page 37 by ric gustafson
When the scouts had returned, all the people ran to greet them.
The scout from Zebulun spoke. " The land is beautiful:. His voice hesitated. " Powerful tribes and cities are in our way".
The scout from Gad spoke up. " These tribes are stronger and can overpower us".
The people picked up stones to kill Moses. " Back to Egypt". They grumbled. " At least there we were safe and had food to eat".
A dark cloud descended on Moses and the people.
God spoke. " How long will they refuse to believe in me". His voice was angry. " I will strike them all down".
Moses got down on his knees and pleaded. " The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love".
God replied. " I have forgiven them". His voice was stern. " No one over twenty will enter the promised land".
