“Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.”
Moreover, you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Do you want to gouge out the eyes of these men? We will not come!' — the grievance intensifies: Moses has failed to deliver the inheritance; the request to 'gouge out our eyes' suggests deliberate deception—Moses claims the land is promised, but they have not received it. The refusal 'we will not come' is absolute.
