Ramban on Deuteronomy 1:23/רמב"ן על דברים א׳:כ״ג
אוָאֶקַּח מִכֶּם שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר אֲנָשִׁים, לֹא שִׁבַּח אוֹתָם בִּנְשִׂיאוּתָם וֶהֱיוֹתָם רָאשֵׁי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, כִּי אַחֲרֵי שֶׁהִרְשִׁיעוּ לֹא יְסַפֵּר בִּשְׁבַח הָרְשָׁעִים:
1AND I TOOK TWELVE MEN OF YOU. He did not praise them as being princes [of their tribes]101, Verse 2. and their being leaders of the children of Israel,102, Verse 3. for, since they acted wickedly, he would not speak in praise of wicked men.
