Numbers 13:26-33 - Report About Canaan

26 And they left and came to Moses and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh. And they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him and said, We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey. And this is the fruit of it. 28 However, the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are walled, very great. And also we saw the children of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south, and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the coast of Jordan.

30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses and said, Let us go up at once and possess it. For we are well able to overcome it.

31 But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched to the sons of Israel, saying, The land through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eats up those who live in it. And all the people whom we saw in it were men of stature. 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, of the giants. And we were in our own sight like grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
