18 <V 13:19> consider the land, as to what kind it may be, and the people, who are its inhabitants, whether they may be strong or weak, whether they may be few in number or many, and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many.
19 <V 13:20> and the land itself, whether it is good or bad, what kind of cities, walled or without walls, and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds, What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified?
20 <V 13:21> the soil, rich or barren, forested or without trees. Be strong, and bring us some of the fruits of the land.” Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes were ready to be eaten. and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes. How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)
21 <V 13:22> And when they had ascended, they explored the land from the desert of Sin, all the way to Rehob, as one enters into Hamath.

22 <V 13:23> And they ascended by the south side. And they arrived at Hebron, where there were Ahiman and Shishai and Talmai, the sons of Anak. For Hebron was founded seven years before Tanis, the city of Egypt. They went up into the Negeb and came to Hebron. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

26 <V 13:27> And they went to Moses and Aaron, and to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel in the desert of Paran, which is in Kadesh. And speaking to them, and to the entire multitude, they showed them the fruits of the land. And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel 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. They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 <V 13:28> And they explained, saying: “We went into the land, to which you sent us, which, it is true, flows with milk and honey, as one can know by these fruits. And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit.
28 <V 13:29> But it has very strong occupants, and the cities are great and also walled. We saw the race of Anak there. However, 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. But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.
29 <V 13:30> Amalek lives in the south. The Hethite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite live in the mountains. And truly, the Canaanite stays near the sea and around the streams of the Jordan.” The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan.” The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.”
30 <V 13:31> During these events, Caleb, to restrain the murmuring of the people who rose up against Moses, said, “Let us ascend and possess the land, for we will be able to obtain it.” 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.” 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 <V 13:32> Yet truly, the others, who had been with him, were saying, “By no means are we able to ascend to this people, because they are stronger than we are.” Then 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.” But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”
32 <V 13:33> And before the sons of Israel they disparaged the land, which they had inspected, saying: “The land, which we viewed, devours its inhabitants. The people, upon whom we gazed, were of lofty stature. So they 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 all the people that we saw in it are of great height. And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.
33 <V 13:34> There, we saw some monsters among the sons of Anak, of the race of giants; by comparison with them, we seemed like locusts.” And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.” We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
