Numbers 13-14
The journey was almost over. After settling the multitude at Kadesh-Barnea, Moses sent twelve men into Canaan to scout the land and determine the best route of entry. The promised land was so close now, Moses could almost taste it. Bring back some of the fruit, he said. Forty days later, the spies returned with giant clusters of fruit on their shoulders and mutiny in their hearts. In many ways, Israel was its own worst enemy. Like crabs in a bucket, they kept pulling each other down. Fear. Rebellion. Anger. Regrets. This three-part series, The Crab Bucket List, confronts sins that trip us up and attitudes that get in our way.
