Portion Shlach
" We cannot go to the people that it is strong". (13, 31)
Spies sinned by telling the people who lived in the country is strong, large cities surrounded in a wall, and there are giant people. After all, they were telling the truth, why is it considered them to sin? The goal was to which they were sent to spy out the land and check it. That the answer they returned on their return. If so, why duty is a grave sin?
The answer is: that Moses sent spies to check which way and how it will be easier to conquer the country. Moses asked them where to begin the occupation by nature, because God does not do a miracle without the need. Moses was confident that Israel will conquer the country as God commanded. Sin of the spies was they added conclusion of what they saw. They said: "We cannot go to the people that it is strong." Even G-d commanded to go Israel to conquer it, they said: We cannot.
The story of the spies we learn a general and thorough instruction on all the commandments of the Torah: We must know the commandments are the commandments from G-d, so of course we can do them. If G-d commanded, then we are able to perform them.
After knowing this, religious practice is within our power, we rely on a miracle. We must try and keep the commandments by naturally, that the physical world. Eretz Israel is the land G-d keeps her especially, providence than the other countries. The worldliness of the Land of Israel is felt more disclosure divine. Therefore, every commandment is like the existence of entry to Israel. To do any command continues sacred in worldliness, like the land of Israel, which G-d is visible detection.
