Numbers 13:26-33

26and went and came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel 1in the wilderness of Paran, at aKadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land. 27Thus they recounted to him and said, “We went in to the land where you sent us; and ait certainly does flow with milk and honey, and bthis is its fruit. 28Nevertheless, athe people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw bthe 1descendants of Anak there. 29Amalek is living in the land of athe Negev and the Hittites and the Jebusites and bthe Amorites are living in the hill country, and cthe Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan.”
30Then Caleb quieted the people 1before Moses and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we are surely able to overcome it.” 31But the men who had gone up with him said, “aWe 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 aa bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land, which we have passed through to spy out on, is ba land that devours its 1inhabitants; and call the people whom we saw in it are men of great size. 33There also we saw the aNephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and bwe became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
