Numbers 13:26-33

26And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at aKadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us. It bflows with milk and honey, cand this is its fruit. 28 dHowever, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. And besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 eThe Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. fAnd the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan.”

30But gCaleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” 31 hThen the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.” 32So ithey brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and jall the people that we saw in it are of great height. 33And there we saw the kNephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the lNephilim), and we seemed to ourselves mlike grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”
