"Then all of you approached me and said, 'Let us send men before us, that they may search out the land for us, and bring back to us word of the way by which we should go up and the cities which we shall enter.'I read this and went, "hold on." I remember when the spies were sent, and there's not a word about the people asking for it. God commanded Moses to send the spies. This makes me ask what's going on here.
While some might take this as revisionist history, I have to assume that we're getting another part of the story. If I'm stitching things together correctly, the people asked for spies to be sent, and Moses inquired of the Lord. God said to do it, and off them went. The rest we know.
