“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,”
The LORD said to Moses, 'Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am about to give to the Israelites' — God Himself commands the spying mission, framing it as reconnaissance of already-promised land ('which I am about to give'). This divine command sets up the tragic irony: God has already promised possession, yet fear will prevent possession.
