Abstract
On the precipice of entering the land of Canaan, Moses sends spies to scout out the terrain and its inhabitants. The strategy backfires as the mixed report from ten of the spies causes a panic. The repercussions were immediate and also reverberated throughout Jewish history. Instead of entering the Land, God condemns the generation to wander for forty years. They died in the desert, forever on the cusp of their destination. (from Introduction)
