it is

with milk and honey .

its
fruit !

it.

the people before Moses ,
and said, Let
us
go up at
once
, and
possess
it;
for we are
well
able
to
overcome
it .
But the men who
had
gone
up with him replied
, “
We cannot
go up against the people ,
for they are stronger than we are!”

went
up with him said
, We are
not

So
they gave
the
Israelites
a
bad
report about
the land that

devours
its
inhabitants
, and all the people we saw there
are great in
stature.

they brought
up
an
evil
report of
the land which
they had spied out unto
the children
of
Israel,
saying,
The
land ,
through
which
we have
gone
to
spy
it
out
, is
a
land
that
eateth
up
the
inhabitants
thereof;
and all the people that
we saw in
it
are men
of
great stature.
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!”
And
there
we saw the Nephilim ,
the sons
of Anak ,
who
come of
the Nephilim :
and
we were
in our own sight as
grasshoppers
, and so
we were
in
their
sight.
