Quotation_auto zu Dewarim 1:5

... And how did [Moshe] say, "I said to you, 'Have no dread or fear of them.'" As we did not find that Moshe said something like this or something similar to it. Rather he was quiet and fell on his face... And perhaps we can say that since Yehoshua and Kalev, his students, said to [the people] (Numbers 14:9, "Only you must not rebel against the LORD. Have no fear then of the people of the country, for they are our prey: their protection has departed from them, but the LORD is with us. Have no fear of them" - Moshe considered these words as if he said them himself.
