Notwithstanding ye would not go up
on Deuteronomy 1:26-28
Because the LORD hated us in verse 27 is the exact inversion of what 7:8 will say, because the LORD loved you, and the two verses repay being read together. Cities walled up to heaven is a figure this book uses again at 9:1, and the sons of the Anakims are the giants of Numbers 13:33, described at 2:10-11 and 3:11 and left as a remnant in Gath at Joshua 11:21-22. Verse 26 calls the refusal rebellion against the commandment of the LORD, and verse 43 will lay the same charge on the opposite mistake.

Notwithstanding, ye would not go up,.... And possess it, as the Lord had bid them, and Moses encouraged them to do, as well as Joshua and Caleb, who were two of the spies sent into it: but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God; disregarded the word of the Lord, and disobeyed his command, and thereby bitterly provoked him, which rebellion against him, their King and God, might well do.
The rejecting of God's favours is really a rebelling against his authority. Invidious reflections upon God's goodness. They basely suggested: Because the Lord hated us, he brought us out of Egypt,

proposed
ye came . . . and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land--The proposal to despatch spies emanated from the people through unbelief; but Moses, believing them sincere, gave his cordial assent to this measure, and God on being consulted permitted them to follow the suggestion (see on Nu 13:1).
