26They set out and came to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to the entire congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.27They recounted to him and said, "We went into the land to which you sent us. It is indeed a land flowing with milk and honey, and here is its fruit."28Yet the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are large and very well fortified; moreover, we saw the sons of Anak there.29Amalek dwells in the land of the Negeb; the Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea and along the Jordan.30Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession of it, for we are certainly able to do so."31But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are."32They spread among the sons of Israel a bad report about the land they had explored, saying, "The land we passed through and explored is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw in it are men of great size."33There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who are descended from the Nephilim; and we seemed in our own sight like grasshoppers, and so we seemed in their sight.
