First, Israelites from each tribe scouted the surrounding land for 40 days. They found the “land of milk and honey,” but came back and reported that there were other people there that were much more powerful than the Israelites. The people panicked, and didn’t have faith that God would help them get there, which made God mad, and that made God force them to wander for 40 years as a punishment. Then, God gave Moses instructions about what offerings to make once they got to Israel. Finally, after an Israelite man was stoned to death by the other Israelites for gathering wood on Shabbat, God commanded the Israelites to wear tzitzit, which would remind them to follow his commandments.
