I am amazed how I can read a scripture many times and not see something that is clearly there. This was true when I reread this passage and read that the ten spies were killed in a plague before God. These guys saw God's vengeance quickly. One might wonder, why? My thought is that these men were not just spies but were to be advisors to the people. They were leaders to tell the people all about the land God promised them. God always holds leaders accountable. In today's world, we may not see anything this extreme and immediate but the Bible is clear, leaders are responsible for where they lead others.
