wolfbiblemoonGod sends spies to check on the land he's promised to his people (because he can't possibly see it himself), and concocts some more rules.
* Apparently there are giants in the land of Canaan, and those spies who came back and were negative about the Isrealites' chances of beating the giants are killed. No dissension in God's congregation.
* God has promised that noone over the age of 20 will survive the journey through the wilderness, he only didn't kill everybody because Moses convinced him that he'd look bad in the eyes of the Egyptians because it'd seem like he had killed them all because he'd failed to take them to their promised land. Can't go losing face in front of the other gods now can we.
* And now more rules about animal sacrifice, just after they were complaining that they didn't have any meat to eat. God has a sick sense of humour.
