Psalm 106:24-27 Part 1 of 3

The people refused to enter the pleasant land,

    for they wouldn't believe his promise to care for them.

Instead, they grumbled in their tents

    and refused to obey the LORD.

Therefore, he solemnly swore

    that he would kill them in the wilderness,

that he would scatter their descendants among the nations,

    exiling them to distant lands.

 

The people refused to enter the pleasant land,

Numbers 13:32  So they spread this bad report about the land among the Israelites: "The land we traveled through and explored will devour anyone who goes to live there. All the people we saw were huge."  (see verses 25-33)

Ezekiel 20:5-6  "Give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: When I chose Israel--when I revealed myself to the descendants of Jacob in Egypt--I took a solemn oath that I, the LORD, would be their God. I took a solemn oath that day that I would bring them out of Egypt to a land I had discovered and explored for them--a good land, a land flowing in milk and honey, the best of all lands anywhere."  (see verses 1-20)

 

for they wouldn't believe his promise to care for them. 

Numbers 14:11  And the LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? Will they never believe me, even after all the miraculous signs I have done among them?"  (see verses 1-12)

Hebrews 3:16  And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard his voice? Wasn't it the people Moses led out of Egypt?

Hebrews 3:7  That is why the Holy Spirit says,

    "Today when you hear his voice,

        don't harden your hearts

    as Israel did when they rebelled,

        when they tested me in the wilderness."  (see verses 7-19)

 

Instead, they grumbled in their tents and refused to obey the LORD. 

Numbers 14:2  Their voices rose in a great chorus of protest against Moses and Aaron. "If only we had died in Egypt, or even here in the wilderness!" they complained.

Numbers 14:22  "... not one of these people will ever enter that land. They have all seen my glorious presence and the miraculous signs I performed both in Egypt and in the wilderness, but again and again they have tested me by refusing to listen to my voice."  (see all chapter 14)

Deuteronomy 1:26-27  "But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God and refused to go in. You complained in your tents and said, 'The LORD must hate us. That's why he has brought us here from Egypt--to hand us over to the Amorites to be slaughtered.' "  (see verses 19-33)

1 Corinthians 10:10  And don't grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death.  (see verses 1-13)
