Angry Like Jesus

What could be so urgent that Caleb had to interrupt a meeting with Moses and the people and called for silence? A distorted perspective of the land that God had promised and an internal vision of themselves that was equal to that of a grasshopper.

even though the flocks die in the fields,
    and the cattle barns are empty,
