b. [in your] tents [Strong: 168 'ohel o'-hel from 166; a tent (as clearly conspicuous from a distance):--covering, (dwelling)(place), home, tabernacle, tent.]

c. [and] said [Strong: 559 'amar aw-mar' a primitive root; to say (used with great latitude):--answer, appoint, avouch, bid, boast self, call, certify, challenge, charge, + (at the, give) command(-ment), commune, consider, declare, demand, X desire, determine, X expressly, X indeed, X intend, name, X plainly, promise, publish, report, require, say, speak (against, of), X still, X suppose, talk, tell, term, X that is, X think, use (speech), utter, X verily, X yet.]

d. [Because the] LORD [Strong: 3068 Yhovah yeh-ho-vaw' from 1961; (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God:--Jehovah, the Lord.]

e. hated [us] [Strong: 8135 sin'ah sin-aw' from 8130; hate:--+ exceedingly, hate(-ful, - red).]

[he hath] brought us forth [Strong: 3318 yatsa' yaw-tsaw' a primitive root; to go (causatively, bring) out, in a great variety of applications, literally and figuratively, direct and proxim.:--X after, appear, X assuredly, bear out, X begotten, break out, bring forth (out, up), carry out, come (abroad, out, thereat, without), + be condemned, depart(-ing, -ure), draw forth, in the end, escape, exact, fail, fall (out), fetch forth (out), get away (forth, hence, out), (able to, cause to, let) go abroad (forth, on, out), going out, grow, have forth (out), issue out, lay (lie) out, lead out, pluck out, proceed, pull out, put away, be risen, X scarce, send with commandment, shoot forth, spread, spring out, stand out, X still, X surely, take forth (out), at any time, X to (and fro), utter.]

h. [of] Egypt [Strong: 4714 Mitsrayim mits-rah'-yim dual of 4693; Mitsrajim, i.e. Upper and Lower Egypt:--Egypt, Egyptians, Mizraim.]

1). In Numbers it declares they brought up an evil report. 

a). Numbers 13:32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

2). In this verse (Numbers 13:32) the vomiting of unbelief continues as the spies continue to give their report to Moses and Aaron, the rejection of God’s word is in full view. The Bible warns against unbelief in any form it takes. In the case of the ten spies it was fear and failure to believe what God said. They believed in God, they just didn’t believe what he said. God said one thing and then they disbelieved it

a). Jude 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

3). An unbelieving heart is an evil heart.

a). Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 

4). In the context of the rebellion of sending the spies and their unbelief the writer of Hebrews has much to say.

a).  Hebrews 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not.

b). believed not [Strong: 544 apeitheo ap-i-theh'-o from 545; to disbelieve (wilfully and perversely):--not believe, disobedient, obey not, unbelieving.]  [Zodhiates: Not to allow oneself to be persuaded or believe, to disbelieve, be disobedient.]

c). They refused to be persuaded.

5). The Apostle Paul exhorts us to take God’s word over the word of man. Once God has spoken on a matter, if a man or group of men and women dispute what God has already spoken on a matter we are to consider those who dispute what God has said as liars.

a). Romans 3:3, 4 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

b). We must always take the Word of God over the word of man.

6). You slandered in your tents and said, “Because of HASHEM’S hatred for us did He take us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us.   [The Artscroll Series/Stone Edition, THE CHUMASH Copyright 1998, 2000 by MESORAH PUBLICATIONS, Ldt.]
