Deuteronomy 1:22

Context
1:22 So all of you approached me and said, “Let’s send some men ahead of us to scout out the land and bring us back word as to how we should attack it and what the cities are like there.”

Deuteronomy 1:28

Context
1:28 What is going to happen to us? Our brothers have drained away our courage 1  by describing people who are more numerous 2  and taller than we are, and great cities whose defenses appear to be as high as heaven 3  itself! Moreover, they said they saw 4  Anakites 5  there.”

Deuteronomy 19:5

Context
19:5 Suppose he goes with someone else 6  to the forest to cut wood and when he raises the ax 7  to cut the tree, the ax head flies loose 8  from the handle and strikes 9  his fellow worker 10  so hard that he dies. The person responsible 11  may then flee to one of these cities to save himself. 12
