³¹In the mean time Caleb, to still the murmuring of the people that rose against Moses, said: Let us go up and possess the land, for we shall be able to conquer it.

³²But the others, that had been with him, said: No, we are not able to go up to this people, because they are stronger than we.

³³And they spoke ill of the land, which they had viewed, before the children of Israel, saying: The land which we have viewed, devoureth its inhabitants: the people, that we beheld are of a tall stature.

³⁴There we saw certain monsters of the sons of Enac, of the giant kind: in comparison of whom, we seemed like locusts.

Chapter 14

Therefore the whole multitude crying wept that night.

²And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying:

³Would God that we had died in Egypt: and would God we may die in this vast wilderness, and that the Lord may not bring us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives and children be led away captives. Is it not better to return into Egypt?
