Deuteronomy 1:23 in Context — Deuteronomy 1

21 Eis que o SENHOR, teu Deus, deu diante de ti esta terra; sobe e tomai posse dela, como o SENHOR, o Deus dos teus pais, te disse; não temas nem te apavores.’

22 Então todos vós vos aproximastes de mim, e dissestes: ‘Enviemos homens adiante de nós, que nos reconheçam a terra, e nos tragam de volta relato de qual caminho por onde devemos subir, e das cidades aonde devemos ir.’

23 E isso me pareceu bem. Então tomei doze homens de vós, um homem de cada tribo.

24 Eles se foram, subiram às montanhas, chegaram ao vale de Escol, e o reconheceram.

25 E tomaram em suas mãos do fruto daquela terra, e o trouxeram a nós, e nos contaram, e disseram: ‘A terra que o SENHOR, nosso Deus, nos dá, é boa.’
