“For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the Lord had given them.”
For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them — the fathers' spying mission (at Eshcol) produced a negative report that discouraged the congregation from trusting the LORD's promise. The spies' cowardice cascaded into the people's faithlessness, resulting in judgment.
