Numbers 13:25-31

At the end of 40 days, the men returned from checking out the land. The men came back to Moses, Aaron and the whole community of Israel. The people were at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There the men reported to Moses and Aaron and all the people. They showed them the fruit of the land. They gave Moses their report. They said, “We went into the land you sent us to. It really does have plenty of milk and honey! Here’s some fruit from the land. But the people who live there are powerful. Their cities have high walls around them and are very large. We even saw members of the family line of Anak there. The Amalekites live in the Negev Desert. The Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the central hill country. The Canaanites live near the Mediterranean Sea. They also live along the Jordan River.” Then Caleb interrupted the men speaking to Moses. He said, “We should go up and take the land. We can certainly do it.” But the men who had gone up with him spoke. They said, “We can’t attack those people. They are stronger than we are.”
