And
see the land ,
what
it
is ,
and the
people
that
dwelleth
therein,
whether they
be
strong or weak, few or many ;
See what
the land is like
and whether its
people
are
strong or weak, few or many .
And
what
the land is
that
they dwell
in,
whether
it
be
good or bad ;
and
what
cities they
be
that
they dwell in,
whether
in
tents,
or in
strong
holds;
Is
the land where
they live
good or bad ?
Are
the
cities where
they dwell open
camps
or fortifications?
And
what
the
land
is ,
whether
it
be
fat
or lean,
whether
there be
wood
therein,
or not .
And
be ye
of
good
courage
, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now
the
time
was the time
of
the first ripe grapes.
Is the
soil
fertile
or unproductive?
Are
there trees
in
it
or not ?
Be courageous
, and bring back
some
of the fruit of the land. ”
(It
was the season
for
the first ripe grapes. )
So they went up ,
and searched
the land from the wilderness of Zin unto

They went

they came unto
the brook

a branch with one
cluster of grapes, and

they brought
of
the
pomegranates ,
and of
the
figs.
When
they came to
the Valley
of Eshcol, they
cut down a branch with a
single
cluster of grapes, which
they carried
on
a
pole
between two men.

took
some
pomegranates and figs.
The
place
was
called

brook
Eshcol,
because of the cluster of grapes which
the children
of
Israel
cut down
from
thence
.
Because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites

unto
the wilderness of Paran ,
to
Kadesh ;
and
brought back word
unto
them,
and
unto
all
the congregation ,
and showed them the fruit of the land.
and they went back
to Moses, Aaron, and the whole
congregation of Israel in
the Wilderness of Paran at
Kadesh .
They
brought back a
report
for
the whole
congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
And they told
him,
and
said,
We came
unto
the land whither
thou
sentest
us, and surely
it floweth
with milk and honey ;
and
this
is the
fruit
of it.
And they gave
this
account
to
Moses:
“
We went
into
the land to
which
you
sent
us, and indeed,
it is
flowing
with milk and honey .
Here
is some
of its
fruit!
Nevertheless the people be
strong
that
dwell
in the land, and the cities are walled,
and
very
great:

we saw the children
of Anak there.

the people living
in the land are
strong
, and the cities are large
and fortified.
We even
saw the descendants
of Anak there.
The Amalekites dwell
in the land of the south:
and
the Hittites, and
the
Jebusites, and the
Amorites ,
dwell
in the mountains:
and the Canaanites dwell
by the sea ,
and by
the coast
of
Jordan.
The Amalekites live
in the land of the Negev;
the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live
in the hill
country;
and the Canaanites live
by the sea and along
the Jordan. ”
And
Caleb stilled
the people before Moses ,
and said, Let
us
go up at
once,
and possess
it;
for we are
well
able
to
overcome
it .
Then
Caleb quieted
the people before Moses and said, “We
must
go up and take
possession
of
the
land,
for we can
certainly
conquer
it !”
But the men that
went
up with him said
, We be
not
able
to
go up against the people ;
for they are stronger than we .
But the men who
had
gone
up with him replied
, “
We cannot
go up against the people ,
for they are stronger than we are!”
And
they brought
up
an
evil
report of
the land which
they had searched
unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
The land ,
through
which
we have
gone
to
search
it,
is
a
land
that
eateth
up
the
inhabitants thereof;
and all the people that
we saw in
it
are men
of
a
great stature.
So
they gave
the
Israelites
a
bad
report about
the land that
they had spied
out:
“
The land we explored
devours
its
inhabitants ,
and all the people we saw there
are great in
stature.
And
there
we saw the giants,
the sons
of Anak ,
which
come of
the giants:
and
we were
in our own sight as
grasshoppers
, and so
we were
in
their
sight.
We even
saw the Nephilim
there—
the descendants
of Anak that
come from
the Nephilim!
We seemed
like
grasshoppers
in our own sight, and we must
have
seemed
the
same
to
them!”
