“And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned.”
Early the next morning they set out for the highest point in the hill country, saying, 'Now we are ready! We will go up to the land the LORD promised. We acknowledge our sin!' — the people's reversal (attempting to enter Canaan despite God's command to turn toward the wilderness) compounds their rebellion: they reverse course without genuine repentance, presuming to accomplish what God has forbidden.
