Verse 41 is found in chapter 14 of Numbers. After hearing the judgment, some Israelites attempt to go up toward Canaan without God’s presence or authorization. Moses warns them that their initiative will not succeed, but they persist and are defeated by the Amalekites and Canaanites. The account shows that delayed obedience is not equivalent to obedience: the same people who refused to advance when God commanded them now try to advance when God has indicated that they should not.
