Chp. 14 verses 1 - 45: The people cry in their tents and they complain to Moshe. Joshua and Calev try to convince the people that the land was very good and that Hashem will give them the land. The people threaten to stone them, but they are protected by the glory of G-d. Hashem tells Moshe that He will destroy the nation. Moshe is able to defend the people only to the point of Hashem not destroying them all at one time. He would punish all those between the ages of twenty to sixty with death and wandering in the desert for forty years. Only Joshua and Calev of those between the ages of twenty and sixty would enter the land. The ten spies die by the plague. Against Moshe's words some of the people try to go up and conquer the mountain but they are defeated by the Amalekie and Canaanie.
