THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Book of Numbers (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

13:32 Spoke ill, etc: These men, who by their misrepresentations of the land of promise, discouraged the Israelites from attempting the conquest of it, were a figure of worldlings, who, by decrying or misrepresenting true devotion, discourage Christians from seeking in earnest and acquiring so great a good, and thereby securing to themselves a happy eternity.
