The Twelve Spies (Meraglim): The Sin That Caused Tisha B'Av
Numbers 13 and 14, the moment Israel turns back from the Promised Land. Moshe sends twelve spies to scout Canaan, and forty days later they return with giant fruit and a divided report. Walk verse by verse: the mission, the land seen, the ten who said we cannot, Joshua and Caleb who said we can, the people weeping in their tents, Moshe's plea, and the decree of forty years in the wilderness. The Jewish people mourn this night every year on Tisha B'Av, the day the verdict was sealed.
