31 Maar die manne wat saam met hom opgetrek het, het gesê: Ons kan nie teen die volk optrek nie, want hulle is sterker as ons.

32 So het hulle dan slegte gerugte onder die kinders van Israel versprei oor die land wat hulle verken het, deur te sê: Die land wat ons deurgetrek het om dit te verken, is 'n land wat sy inwoners verteer; en al die mense wat ons daarin gesien het, is groot manne.

33 Ons het daar ook die reuse gesien, die kinders van Enak, van die reuse afkomstig; en ons was soos sprinkane in ons oë; so was ons ook in hulle oë.

31 But 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.

32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.

33 There we saw those great men, the sons of Anak, offspring of the Nephilim: and we seemed to ourselves no more than insects, and so we seemed to them.
