Chapter 13 shows how the people obeyed God’s command to explore the land. Twelve spies were selected, one from each tribe of Israel, to explore the land and bring back a report to Israel. The spies reported that the land was good, ‘rich with milk and honey’ (Numbers 13:27), the people were strong and the cities large and fortified (Numbers 13:28). Things took a downturn when 10 of the spies spread a bad report among the people (Numbers 13:31–33). To take the land would be difficult! They would have to fight these huge people in their strong cities. How quickly the spies had forgotten the mighty God who brought them out of Egypt and would go before them, driving out the nations to give them the land. Only Caleb and Joshua trusted God (Numbers 13:30; 14:6–9). The rest of the people, however, grumbled against God. They rejected Joshua and Caleb and attempted to stone them.

As a result, God’s anger burned against his people. Their faithlessness and disobedience was abominable, especially since God was just about to fulfil his promises to them. Initially, God was preparing to wipe out Israel completely and start again with Moses and his family (Numbers 14:11–12). However, Moses was quick to defend God’s honour and reputation and to intercede for Israel (Numbers 14:13–19). God relented, forgiving the people and keeping his promise—but to the next generation. God declared on oath that the grumbling generation would not enter into the Promised Land but would die in the desert as they had asked to do (Numbers 14:20–25). So Israel wandered in the desert for 40 years until everyone over 20 years of age died and their children had grown. This account reveals God to be faithful, gracious and just and able to fulfil his promises, despite the disobedience and faithlessness of his people.

LESSON AIM ■ To help students to understand that even when

his people are disobedient, God is trustworthy and still keeps his promises.

LESSON OUTCOMESStudents will learn about:

■ the 12 spies who were sent to explore the land that God had promised to give Israel

■ how Israel was disobedient to God.

Students will learn to: ■ state which promise to Abraham God was

going to fulfil ■ recognise God’s faithfulness to his people,

even when they are disobedient.

MEMORY VERSEChrist died only once to take away the sins of many people. But when he comes again, it will not be to take away sin. He will come to save everyone who is waiting for him. Hebrews 9:28 (CEV)

» Bible backgroundLessons 1–6 showed that God rescued his people from Egypt with a mighty hand. He made a covenant with Israel and brought them through the desert to the edge of the Promised Land. While God’s people did show some faithful obedience to the instruction of their good and powerful God, Israel’s complaints against God and their disobedience to his word (Numbers 11–21) were clear. Their most blatant rejection of God is recorded in Numbers 13–14.

God certainly kept his promise that Abraham would have a very large family. The whole nation of Israel had come from his son Isaac. Another promise was that God said he would give his people land.

There in Kadesh-Barnea, the people of Israel were excited. They couldn’t wait to go into the land that God had promised them. But before they could enter the land, God told Moses to send 12 men to go into the land and bring back a report of what it was like.

Hand out the Visual aid on page 73 of the 12 spies craft so that each student has a copy. Demonstrate how to cut out the

figure so that when the paper is unfolded there are 12 characters holding hands. Distribute pencils and scissors to each student.

The 12 spies set off. They explored the whole land as Moses had instructed them. Meanwhile the people waited. And waited. And waited. What if the spies had been captured? Why were they taking so long?

After 40 days the spies returned. They were carrying an enormous bunch of grapes. It was so big it took two men to carry it on a large pole. The people were excited and crowded around the spies, waiting to hear what they had to say.

» Way inI want you to imagine that you are sitting next to your very best friend! He or she tells you that just outside the classroom door, there is some delicious honey to eat.

You jump up and are just about to run over to open the door to grab some when some of your classmates shout to warn you. They say not to go outside because there are lots of bees and you could get stung and hurt.

■ Would you go outside or stay inside? Why? (Accept responses.)

Now, you trust your best friend—they’ve never lied to you before, but you’re having doubts and feeling scared. What do you do?

Display the Visual aid on page 72 of the Beekeeper.

Well, what you don’t know is that your best friend has a beekeeper suit in your size and has it ready for you to put on. The suit will protect you and will ensure you don’t get stung by any bees. You can now easily open the door and go outside without fear of getting stung!

In our lesson today we are going to hear about Israel and how some of the people were scared of doing what God asked and how others trusted God and knew that he would protect them.

» Bible focusLast lesson we heard about how God gave Moses instructions so Israel could build a special tent so they could meet with God in person.

It was now more than a year since God had used Moses to rescue Israel from being slaves in Egypt. And all this time the Israelites had been living in the desert. Remember how we have been looking at our map each week to find out where the Israelites had moved to?

Well, now they were at a place called Kadesh-Barnea.

» Connections ■ How did Israel show they didn’t trust God in

today’s lesson?(Accept responses. They didn’t believe that God would protect them when they entered the Promised Land and wanted to return to Egypt and be slaves again—even after witnessing so many of God’s powerful events as he led them out of Egypt and through the desert.)

■ How might we show that we don’t trust God sometimes?(Accept responses. We might not believe God’s promises to us, that if we love and follow Jesus then our sins are forgiven and we will live forever with God in heaven. We might not obey God’s words in the Bible because we don’t trust that God knows what is best for us.)

None of us are perfect and we all make mistakes but we can be happy because we see that these mistakes don’t stop God’s good promises to us.

■ Was God still going to keep his promise, even after the Israelites grumbled against him?(Accept responses. Yes, once the Israelite children grew into adults, God was going to take them into the Promised Land so that his promise to Abraham would still come true.)

Have a think about whether God will still keep his promises to us, even when we grumble or when we are not thankful for the things he has given us.

Yes! God is faithful to his promises! That means God keeps his promises. God promises that when we trust and follow Jesus, he brings forgiveness of sins.

God suddenly appeared in a cloud. His people had been disobedient.

■ How had the Israelites been disobedient?(Accept responses. They didn’t trust God and his promises and didn’t believe that he could protect them when they went into the Promised Land. They actually wanted to return to Egypt to be slaves again.)

Then God told them that no adult would be able to enter the Promised Land. All those who had been disobedient would have to wander in the desert until all their children grew up and were adults themselves.

RESEARCH

The spies brought back huge grapes to show the people what grew in the land God had promised them. Students could split into small groups of three or four and fi nd out about the different varieties of grapes available. It may be helpful to fi nd a webpage with information (such as the following, http://localfoods.about.com/od/grapes/tp/typesgrapes.htm, viewed February, 2012) and give out one type of grape to each group, who then report back to the class with two facts about the particular grape.

LISTEN TO GOD

Explain that the people of Israel were very sad when they heard that because they had been disobedient, God would not let them go into the land. This is what happened next. Students read Exodus 14:39–45 together as a class and answer the following questions.

■ What did the Israelites decide to do? ■ What did Moses say about their plan? ■ Were the Israelites successful or were

they defeated? ■ Why were they defeated?

The solution to the Activity book is below:

» Concluding prayerHeavenly Father, thank you for showing us how you were fulfi lling your promise of land to Abraham through Moses and your people Israel. Thank you that we can trust your promises and always rely on you. Amen.
