Context — Israel’s Rebellion
25They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, carried it down to us, and brought us word: “It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
26But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.
27You grumbled in your tents and said, “Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be annihilated.
28Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying: ‘The people are larger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the heavens. We even saw the descendants of the Anakim there.’” 29So I said to you: “Do not be terrified or afraid of them!Cross References

Deuteronomy 1:27 Summary
In Deuteronomy 1:27, the Israelites were grumbling and complaining against God, thinking He hated them and wanted to harm them. However, this was not true - God had actually delivered them from slavery in Egypt and was leading them to the Promised Land, as promised in Exodus 6:6-8. This verse teaches us the importance of trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when things seem uncertain or difficult, as encouraged in Psalm 23:4. By trusting in God's faithfulness and promises, we can overcome our fears and doubts, and walk in faith and obedience, as seen in Romans 8:28 and Hebrews 11:6.
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the main reason for the Israelites' grumbling in Deuteronomy 1:27?
The Israelites grumbled because they believed the Lord hated them and had brought them out of Egypt to be annihilated by the Amorites, as stated in Deuteronomy 1:27, which shows a lack of trust in God's plan and provision, similar to the doubts expressed in Numbers 14:2-3.
How did the Israelites' perception of God's intentions differ from reality?
The Israelites thought God hated them and wanted to harm them, but in reality, God had delivered them from slavery in Egypt and was leading them to the Promised Land, as promised in Exodus 6:6-8 and Deuteronomy 1:25.
What can we learn from the Israelites' mistake in Deuteronomy 1:27?
We can learn the importance of trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when circumstances seem uncertain or difficult, as encouraged in Psalm 23:4 and Romans 8:28.
How does this verse relate to the concept of faith and doubt?
Deuteronomy 1:27 illustrates the dangerous consequences of allowing doubt and unbelief to dominate our thoughts and actions, rather than trusting in God's faithfulness and promises, as emphasized in Hebrews 11:6 and 2 Timothy 2:13.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I have grumbled or complained against God's plan in my own life, and how can I learn to trust Him more?
- How can I balance my fears and doubts with the promises and assurances of God's Word, as seen in Deuteronomy 1:27 and other scriptures?
- In what ways have I allowed negative thoughts or the opinions of others to influence my perception of God's intentions, and how can I correct this?
- What are some scriptures that help me trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when circumstances seem uncertain or difficult?
- How can I apply the lessons from Deuteronomy 1:27 to my daily life and relationships, trusting in God's plan and provision?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 1:27
And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:27
Because the Lord hated us, and therefore designed to destroy us.
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:27
Deuteronomy 1:27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.Ver. 27. Because the Lord hated us.] A gross mistake. Why should it then so greatly grieve us. that our good intentions are so much misconstrued? That is here complained of, as an argument of God’ s hatred, that he intended for an instance of his love. In quo dilexisti nos? "wherein hast thou loved us?" said those malcontents in Malachi, that cast the helve after the hatchet, as the proverb is, and like children, because they might not have what they would, grew sullen, and would have nothing.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:27
(27) Because the Lord hated us.—A most astounding commentary on the events of the exodus up to that date. It is a stronger expression than any recorded, even in Numbers 14:3.
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 1:27
27. and ye murmured] Heb. ragan, not elsewhere in Pent. P uses a different verb. in your tents] Transposing two consonants Geiger reads against your God. This change is unnecessary. Discontent with a report, originally suggested by the people themselves, and discontent that shaped itself (according to JE) to the demand for another leader, would at first be uttered in private. Because the Lord hated us] To this extreme of unbelief and ingratitude were the people driven by the report of a few among themselves, in spite of their long experience of God’s leading. The passage is eloquent of the fickleness with which a people will suffer the lessons of its past—facts of Providence it has proved and lived upon—to be overthrown by the opinion of a few ‘experts’ as to a still untried situation! To which the answer is memorable—Be the facts as the ‘experts’ assert, do ye try the situation and prove that God will be with you there as He has been with you before. to deliver us into the hand of] A phrase frequent in D: 9 times, + 10 in deuteronomic passages in Jos., against 5 times in JE. the Amorites] See on Deuteronomy 1:7. to destroy us] Another phrase so characteristic of D that in its active and pass. forms it occurs 28 times in the Bk + 5 in deuteronomic passages in Jos. against 4 or 5 times in all the rest of the Hexateuch.
Whedon's Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:27
27. Ye murmured in your tents — It is true that the great majority of the murmurers had died since that time; but Moses speaks to the nation as still containing the elements of unbelief, ingratitude, and disloyalty.
