When they reached Paltom they remembered Eretz Yisroel and began weeping and tearing their garments. Based on their interpittion of a Torah verse they decided that remaining in Eretz Yisroel was more important then the observance of all the Mitzvot. They turned back, although at a later point three of the four did end up moving to Diaspora. |
