Numbers 13:26-33

26they went on and came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, 1in the wilderness of Paran at 2Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27So they reported to him and said, “We came into the land where you sent us, and 3it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and 4this is its fruit. 28Nevertheless, 5the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. And indeed, we saw 6the 7descendants of Anak there! 29Amalek is living in the land of 8the Negev, the Hittites, the Jebusites, and 9the Amorites are living in the hill country, and 10the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan.”

30Then Caleb quieted the people 11before Moses and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will certainly prevail over it.” 31But the men who had gone up with him said, “12We are not able to go up against the people, because they are too strong for us.” 32So they brought 13a bad report of the land which they had spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, “The land through which we have gone to spy out is 14a land that devours its inhabitants; and 15all the people whom we saw in it are people of great stature. 33We also saw the 1617Nephilim there (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and 18we were like 19grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
