Here is its fruit. 28 However, the people who live there are strong, and the cities are large and very fortified. We even saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan. 30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We cannot attack these people, for they are stronger than we are." 32 And they spread a bad report about the land they had explored among the Israelites, saying, "The land we explored devours those who live in it, and all the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We even saw the Nephilim there—the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim.
