Numbers 13:17-33
17And MosesH4872 sentH7971 them to spy outH8446 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and saidH559 unto them, Get you upH5927 this way southwardH5045, and go upH5927 into the mountainH2022: 18And seeH7200 the landH776, what it is; and the peopleH5971 that dwellethH3427 therein, whether they be strongH2389 or weakH7504, fewH4592 or manyH7227; 19And what the landH776 is that they dwell inH3427, whether it be goodH2896 or badH7451; and what citiesH5892 they be that they dwellH3427 inH2007, whether in tentsH4264, or in strong holdsH4013; 20And what the landH776 is, whether it be fatH8082 or leanH7330, whether there beH3426 woodH6086 therein, or not. And be ye of good courageH2388, and bringH3947 of the fruitH6529 of the landH776. Now the timeH3117 was the timeH3117 of the firstripeH1061 grapesH6025.
21So they went upH5927, and searchedH8446 the landH776 from the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790 unto RehobH7340, as men comeH935 to HamathH2574. 22And they ascendedH5927 by the southH5045, and cameH935 unto HebronH2275; where AhimanH289, SheshaiH8344, and TalmaiH8526, the childrenH3211 of AnakH6061, were. (Now HebronH2275 was builtH1129 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 beforeH6440 ZoanH6814 in EgyptH4714.) 23And they cameH935 unto the brookH5158 of EshcolH812, and cut downH3772 from thence a branchH2156 with oneH259 clusterH811 of grapesH6025, and they bareH5375 it between twoH8147 upon a staffH4132; and they brought of the pomegranatesH7416, and of the figsH8384.1 24The placeH4725 was calledH7121 the brookH5158 EshcolH812, because ofH182 the cluster of grapesH811 which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cut downH3772 from thence.23 25And they returnedH7725 from searchingH8446 of the landH776 afterH7093 fortyH705 daysH3117.
26And they wentH3212 and cameH935 to MosesH4872, and to AaronH175, and to all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, unto the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290, to KadeshH6946; and brought backH7725 wordH1697 unto them, and unto all the congregationH5712, and shewedH7200 them the fruitH6529 of the landH776. 27And they toldH5608 him, and saidH559, We cameH935 unto the landH776 whither thou sentestH7971 us, and surely it flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; and this is the fruitH6529 of it. 28NeverthelessH657 the peopleH5971 be strongH5794 that dwellH3427 in the landH776, and the citiesH5892 are walledH1219, and veryH3966 greatH1419: and moreover we sawH7200 the childrenH3211 of AnakH6061 there. 29The AmalekitesH6002 dwellH3427 in the landH776 of the southH5045: and the HittitesH2850, and the JebusitesH2983, and the AmoritesH567, dwellH3427 in the mountainsH2022: and the CanaanitesH3669 dwellH3427 by the seaH3220, and by the coastH3027 of JordanH3383. 30And CalebH3612 stilledH2013 the peopleH5971 before MosesH4872, and saidH559, Let us go upH5927 at onceH5927, and possessH3423 it; for we are well ableH3201 to overcomeH3201 it. 31But the menH582 that went upH5927 with him saidH559, We be not ableH3201 to go upH5927 against the peopleH5971; for they are strongerH2389 than we. 32And they brought upH3318 an evil reportH1681 of the landH776 which they had searchedH8446 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The landH776, through which we have goneH5674 to searchH8446 it, is a landH776 that eateth upH398 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; and all the peopleH5971 that we sawH7200 in itH8432 are menH582 of a great statureH4060.4 33And there we sawH7200 the giantsH5303, the sonsH1121 of AnakH6061, which come of the giantsH5303: and we were in our own sightH5869 as grasshoppersH2284, and so we were in their sightH5869.
