Numbers 13:28–33

²⁸Yet the people who are inhabiting it are strong and the cities are fortified and very large; moreover, we saw the descendants of the Anakites there. ²⁹The Amalekites are living in the land of the Negev;^p the Hittites, Jebusites, and the Amorites are living in the hill country; and the Canaanites are living at the sea and on the banks of the Jordan.”

³⁰And Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “Surely, let us go up and let us take possession of it because surely we will be able to prevail over it.” ³¹And the men who went up with him said, “We are not able to go up to the people because they are stronger than us.” ³²And they presented the report of the land that they explored to the Israelites,^q saying, “The land that we went through to explore is a land that eats its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in its midst are men of great size.^{r 33}There we saw the Nephilim (the descendants^s of Anak came from the Nephilim), and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their eyes.”
