A pivotal incident in Israel's history occurs when they reach the promised land and spies are sent to scope out the land before entering. Based on the majority report of the scouts regarding the strength of the people there, and ignoring the advice of Joshua and Caleb, the people of Israel overwhelming refuse to enter the land that God had for them. The result was 40 more years of wandering in the desert.
Several lessons can be gained from this event: be careful whom you listen to, don't let your fears override God's promises, and snap decisions can lead to lasting consequences.
