13:26 They came back 1 to Moses and Aaron and to the whole community of the Israelites in the wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. 2 They reported 3 to the whole community and showed the fruit of the land. 13:27 They told Moses, 4 “We went to the land where you sent us. 5 It is indeed flowing with milk and honey, 6 and this is its fruit. 13:28 But 7 the inhabitants 8 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 9 of the Jordan.” 10
13:30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses, saying, “Let us go up 11 and occupy it, 12 for we are well able to conquer it.” 13 13:31 But the men 14 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 15 report of the land they had investigated, saying, “The land that we passed through 16 to investigate is a land that devours 17 its inhabitants. 18 All the people we saw there 19 are of great stature. 13:33 We even saw the Nephilim 20 there (the descendants of Anak came from the Nephilim), and we seemed liked grasshoppers both to ourselves 21 and to them.” 22
