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.

33We even saw the Nephilim there(the descendants of Anak came from the Nephilim), and we seemed like grasshoppers both to ourselves and to them.”
30Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses, saying,“Let us go up and occupy it, for we are well able to conquer it.”
31But 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!”
28What is going to happen to us? Our brothers have drained away our courage by describing people who are more numerous and taller than we are, and great cities whose defenses appear to be as high as heaven itself! Moreover, they said they saw Anakites there.”
29So I responded to you,“Do not be terrified of them!
25They returned from investigating the land after forty days.
26The Spies’ Reports They came back to Moses and Aaron and to the whole community of the Israelites in the wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They reported to the whole community and showed the fruit of the land.
27They told Moses,“We went to the land where you sent us. It is indeed flowing with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
28But the inhabitants are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.
6And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, two of those who had investigated the land, tore their garments.
7They said to the whole community of the Israelites,“The land we passed through to investigate is an exceedingly good land.
8If the LORD delights in us, then he will bring us into this land and give it to us– a land that is flowing with milk and honey.
9Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection has turned aside from them, but the LORD is with us. Do not fear them!”
7Why do you frustrate the intent of the Israelites to cross over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
9When they went up to the Eshcol Valley and saw the land, they frustrated the intent of the Israelites so that they did not enter the land that the LORD had given them.
17The Spies’ Instructions When Moses sent them to investigate the land of Canaan, he told them,“Go up through the Negev, and then go up into the hill country
18and see what the land is like, and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak, few or many,
19and whether the land they live in is good or bad, and whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or fortified cities,
20and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether or not there are forests in it. And be brave, and bring back some of the fruit of the land.” Now it was the time of year for the first ripe grapes.
21The Spies’ Activities So they went up and investigated the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, at Lebo Hamath.
22When they went up through the Negev, they came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, descendants of Anak, were living.(Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23When they came to the valley of Eshcol, they cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a staff between two men, as well as some of the pomegranates and the figs.
24They left and went up to the hill country, coming to the Eshcol Valley, which they scouted out.
25Then they took some of the produce of the land and carried it back down to us. They also brought a report to us, saying,“The land that the LORD our God is about to give us is good.”
36The men whom Moses sent to investigate the land, who returned and made the whole community murmur against him by producing an evil report about the land,
37those men who produced the evil report about the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
38But Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among the men who went to investigate the land, lived.
2They include the Anakites, a numerous and tall people whom you know about and of whom it is said,“Who is able to resist the Anakites?”
9They said,“Come on, let’s attack them, for we saw their land and it is very good. You seem lethargic, but don’t hesitate to invade and conquer the land.
10When you invade, you will encounter unsuspecting people. The land is wide! God is handing it over to you– a place that lacks nothing on earth!”
20(That also is considered to be a land of the Rephaites. The Rephaites lived there originally; the Ammonites call them Zamzummites.
21They are a people as powerful, numerous, and tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed the Rephaites in advance of the Ammonites, so they dispossessed them and settled down in their place.
22So all of you approached me and said,“Let’s send some men ahead of us to scout out the land and bring us back word as to how we should attack it and what the cities are like there.”
24They told Joshua,“Surely the LORD is handing over all the land to us! All who live in the land are cringing before us!”
30“The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly to us and treated us as if we were spying on the land.
9She said to the men,“I know the LORD is handing this land over to you. We are absolutely terrified of you, and all who live in the land are cringing before you.
31But I will bring in your little ones, whom you said would become victims of war, and they will enjoy the land that you have despised.
14Moreover, you have not brought us into a land that flows with milk and honey, nor given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Do you think you can blind these men? We will not come up.”
12“No,” he insisted,“but you have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
2“Send out men to investigate the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. You are to send one man from each ancestral tribe, each one a leader among them.”
35“Not a single person of this evil generation will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors!
10(The Emites used to live there, a people as powerful, numerous, and tall as the Anakites.
6Indeed, for forty years the Israelites traveled through the wilderness until all the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt, the ones who had disobeyed the LORD, died off. For the LORD had sworn a solemn oath to them that he would not let them see the land he had sworn by oath to their ancestors to give them, a land rich in milk and honey.
2All Jerusalem was terrified because Gibeon was a large city, like one of the royal cities. It was larger than Ai and all its men were warriors.
14Now the length of time it took for us to go from Kadesh Barnea to the crossing of Wadi Zered was thirty-eight years, time for all the military men of that generation to die, just as the LORD had vowed to them.
11‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years old and upward who came from Egypt will see the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
