²⁶ the twelve men returned to Kadesh in the Paran Desert and told Moses, Aaron, and the people what they had seen. They showed them the fruit ²⁷ and said: Look at this fruit! The land we explored is rich with milk and honey. ²⁸ But the people who live there are strong, and their cities are large and walled. We even saw the three Anakim clans. ²⁹ Besides that, the Amalekites live in the Southern Desert; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites are in the hill country; and the Canaanites live along the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. ³⁰ Caleb calmed down the crowd and said, "Let's go and take the land. I know we can do it!" ³¹ But the other men replied, "Those people are much too strong for us." ³² Then they started spreading rumors and saying, "We won't be able to grow anything in that soil. And the people are like giants. ³³ In fact, we saw the Nephilim who are the ancestors of the Anakim. They were so big that we felt as small as grasshoppers."
