Hello!
Let’s have a quick recap of some of the things that happened to God’s people after they left Egypt and before they got to Canaan. See if you can spot how many spies Moses sent into Canaan and how long the Israelites were in the desert…
How many spies did Moses send into Canaan? And how many of them thought that they should listen to God and go into the land he had promised? What were their names? How many more years did the Israelites wander in the desert because they didn’t trust God?
When Joshua became the leader, he sent spies into the city of Jericho. But he only sent two. What happened this time? Who helped the spies? How do you think God helped the spies too?
