Numbers 13:27-33

27Thus they told him, and said, “We went in to the land where you sent us; and 1it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and 2this is its fruit. 28Nevertheless, 3the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw 4the 5descendants of Anak there. 29Amalek is living in the land of 6the Negev and the Hittites and the Jebusites and 7the Amorites are living in the hill country, and 8the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan.”

30Then Caleb quieted the people 9before Moses and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it.” 31But the men who had gone up with him said, “10We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us.” 32So they gave out to the sons of Israel 11a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is 12a land that devours its 13inhabitants; and 14all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size. 33There also we saw the 15Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and 16we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
