Legacy Standard Bible
5 (A)Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces in the presence of all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel. 6 And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; 7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “(B)The land which we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8 (C)If Yahweh is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us—(D)a land which flows with milk and honey. 9 But as for you, only (E)do not rebel against Yahweh; and do not (F)fear the people of the land, for they are our [a]bread. Their [b]protection has been removed from them, and Yahweh is with us; do not fear them.”

Numbers 14:5-9
International Standard Version
5 Moses and Aaron fell on their faces in front of the entire assembly of the congregation of Israel. 6 Nun’s son Joshua and Jephunneh’s son Caleb, who had accompanied the others who also had explored the land, tore their clothes 7 and attempted to reason with the entire congregation of Israel. They told them, “The land that we went through and explored is very, very good. 8 If the Lord is pleased with us, he’ll bring us into this land and give it to us. It flows with milk and honey. 9 However, don’t rebel against the Lord or be afraid of the people who live in the land, because we’ll gobble them right up.[a] Their defenses will collapse, because the Lord is with us. You are not to be afraid of them.”
