Numbers 13:27-33
13:27 They told Moses,
“We went to the land where you sent us.
It is indeed flowing with milk and honey,
and this is its fruit.
13:28 But
the inhabitants
are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.
13:29 The Amalekites live in the land of the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the sea and along the banks
of the Jordan.”
13:30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses, saying, “Let us go up and occupy it, for we are well able to conquer it.”
13:31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against these people, because they are stronger than we are!”
13:32 Then they presented the Israelites with a discouraging report of the land they had investigated, saying, “The land that we passed through to investigate is a land that devours its inhabitants. All the people we saw there are of great stature.
13:33 We even saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak came from the Nephilim), and we seemed liked grasshoppers both to ourselves and to them.”
