Numbers 13:28-33

28 ^aHowever, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. And besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 ^bThe Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. ^cAnd the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan.”

30 But ^dCaleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” 31 ^eThen 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.” 32 So ^fthey brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and ^gall the people that we saw in it are of great height. 33 And there we saw the ^hNephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the ⁱNephilim), and we seemed to ourselves ^jlike grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”
