English Standard Version
5 Then (A)Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the people of Israel. 6 (B)And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, (C)“The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land. 8 If (D)the Lord delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, (E)a land that flows with milk and honey. 9 Only (F)do not rebel against the Lord. And (G)do not fear the people of the land, for (H)they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.” 10 (I)Then all the congregation said to stone them with stones. But (J)the glory of the Lord appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel.

Numbers 14:5-10
New Living Translation
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground before the whole community of Israel. 6 Two of the men who had explored the land, Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, tore their clothing. 7 They said to all the people of Israel, “The land we traveled through and explored is a wonderful land! 8 And if the Lord is pleased with us, he will bring us safely into that land and give it to us. It is a rich land flowing with milk and honey. 9 Do not rebel against the Lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the Lord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!”
10 But the whole community began to talk about stoning Joshua and Caleb. Then the glorious presence of the Lord appeared to all the Israelites at the Tabernacle.[a]
