“But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.”
But the whole assembly talked about stoning them — the community's response to faith is violence; they propose stoning Caleb and Joshua, the two righteous spies, as if killing the faithful witnesses could silence God's word. The stoning proposal reveals the depth of apostasy: Israel turns against her own faithful leaders.
