Numbers 14:36

And the men which Moses sent to search the land ,.... Ten of them:

who returned ; as they all did, who were sent to search it:

and made all the congregation to murmur against him ; against, Moses that sent them; they murmured themselves, and made others murmur:

by bringing up a slander upon the land ; that it ate up its inhabitants, and that the inhabitants of it were of such a stature, and so gigantic and strong, and dwelt in such walled cities, Numbers 13:28 , that there was no probability of subduing them, Numbers 13:31 .
