³⁰And Caleb stilleth the people concerning Moses, and saith, ‘Let us certainly go up—and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able for it.’ ³¹And the men who have gone up with him said, ‘We are not able to go up against the people, for it is stronger than we;’ ³²and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied unto the sons of Israel, saying, ‘The land into which we passed over to spy it, is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst are men of stature; ³³and there we saw the Nephilim, sons of Anak, of the Nephilim; and we are in our own eyes as grasshoppers; and so we were in their eyes.’

Chapter 14

¹And all the company lifteth up and give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night; ²and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses, and against Aaron, and all the company say unto them, ‘O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died! ³and why is Jehovah bringing us in unto this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it not good for us to turn back to Egypt?’
