Why does the Torah use the term ארץ מושבתיכם regarding the commandment of nesachim? The mistake of the meraglim was that Eretz Yisroel was something that they did not yet have and would need to work to get it, they would need to conquer it. In their minds this was an impossible task, whether on a phycological, spiritual or physical level. What Hashem was telling Klal Yisroel in the very next parsha, is that Eretz Yisroel is already in your hands, it is your מושב, you just have to remove the obstacles to be there in actuality. When the object is already in hand, it is much easier to accomplish than to try to obtain something in the first place. For a halachik derush based upon this difference see here.
