The Israelite dem move from Mount Sinai. They pass through the desert they call Paran to go to the place they call Kadesh. Then Jehovah tell Moses say: ‘Send 12 men, one from each tribe, to go spy on Canaan, the land that I will give to the Israelite dem.’ So Moses choose 12 men and he tell them say: ‘Yor go to Canaan to find out whether the land good and if food can grow there. Yor must see whether the people that living there strong or weak, and whether they living in tents or in city.’ Joshua and Caleb wor among the 12 men dem that go spy on Canaan.

After 40 days, the 12 men dem came back with figs, pomegranates, and grapes. Then they say: ‘The land good, but the people that living there strong and the city dem get high fence.’ Then Caleb say: ‘We able to conquer them. Yor let go now-now!’ You know why Caleb say that one? Because he and Joshua trust in Jehovah. But the other ten men dem say: ‘No! The people that living there big-big just like giants! And we wor looking just like grasshoppers when we stand near them.’

The Israelite dem wor feeling bad. Then they started complaining and saying to each other: ‘Let choose different leader and go back to Egypt. Why we must go to this place and  they kill us?’ Joshua and Caleb say: ‘Yor must not disobey Jehovah, and yor must not be scare. Jehovah will protect us.’ But the Israelite dem not listen. They even wanted to kill Joshua and Caleb!

Wetin Jehovah do? He tell Moses say: ‘After all the thing I na do for the Israelite dem, they still not want obey me. So they will stay in the wilderness for 40 years, and that the place they will die. Only their children and Joshua and Caleb will live in the land that I promise to give them.’
