It truly flows with Ex. 3:8, 17; 13:5; 33:3milk and honey, Deut. 1:25and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the Deut. 1:28; 9:1, 2people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Josh. 11:21, 22Anak there.
30 Then Num. 14:6, 24Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it."
31 Num. 32:9; Deut. 1:28; 9:1–3; Josh. 14:8But 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 Num. 14:36, 37; Ps. 106:24And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and Amos 2:9all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the giants (Deut. 1:28; 9:2; Josh. 11:21the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were Is. 40:22like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were 1 Sam. 17:42in their sight."
