13:26 They came back 5 to Moses and Aaron and to the whole community of the Israelites in the wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. 6 They reported 7 to the whole community and showed the fruit of the land. 13:27 They told Moses, 8 “We went to the land where you sent us. 9 It is indeed flowing with milk and honey, 10 and this is its fruit. 13:28 But 11 the inhabitants 12 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 13 of the Jordan.” 14
13:30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses, saying, “Let us go up 15 and occupy it, 16 for we are well able to conquer it.” 17 13:31 But the men 18 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 19 report of the land they had investigated, saying, “The land that we passed through 20 to investigate is a land that devours 21 its inhabitants. 22 All the people we saw there 23 are of great stature. 13:33 We even saw the Nephilim 24 there (the descendants of Anak came from the Nephilim), and we seemed liked grasshoppers both to ourselves 25 and to them.” 26
