The Report of the Spies

25At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land.

26v 3; Num 20.1, 16; 32.8And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the Israelites in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.

27Ex 3.8; Deut 1.25And they reported to him and said, “We came to the land to which you sent us; it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

28Deut 1.28Yet the people who live in the land are strong, and the towns are fortified and very large, and besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there.

29Num 14.43The Amalekites live in the land of the Negeb; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites live in the hill country, and the Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan.”

30 Num 14.6, 24 But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.”

31Deut 1.28Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against this people, for they are stronger than we.”

32Num 14.36; Ps 106.24; Am 2.9So they brought to the Israelites an unfavorable report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land that we have gone through as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great size.

33Deut 1.28; 9.2There we saw the Nephilim (the Anakites come from the Nephilim), and to ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”
