Numbers 13:26-30

English Standard Version

²⁶ And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at ^(A)Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. ²⁷ And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us. It ^(B)flows with milk and honey, ^(C)and this is its fruit. ^28 (D)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. ^29 (E)The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. ^(F)And the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan.”

³⁰ But ^(G)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.”
