The problem is not tradition itself.
The problem is when tradition replaces truth, and regulations exceed Scripture.

Jesus addressed this directly.

“You reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.”
— Mark 7:9

This was not a casual retreat.
It was not scenic tourism.
It was not a teaching moment chosen for convenience.

God selected Noah to present the first atoning sacrifice as an act of worship. This sacrifice ultimately led to God’s repentance once again. He first repented when he saw that his creation had become wicked and felt

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”  (Ephesians 6:12)

Moses sent twelve spies into the land of Canaan to report on the land and its habitants.  Finally, the children of Israel were on the verge of claiming their promised territory.  After leaving Egypt, they wandered in the desert for approximately 40 years.
