Numbers 13:27-34 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

27. And they went to Moses and Aaron, and to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel in the desert of Paran, which is in Kadesh. And speaking to them, and to the entire multitude, they showed them the fruits of the land.

28. And they explained, saying: "We went into the land, to which you sent us, which, it is true, flows with milk and honey, as one can know by these fruits.

29. But it has very strong occupants, and the cities are great and also walled. We saw the race of Anak there.

30. Amalek lives in the south. The Hethite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite live in the mountains. And truly, the Canaanite stays near the sea and around the streams of the Jordan."

31. During these events, Caleb, to restrain the murmuring of the people who rose up against Moses, said, "Let us ascend and possess the land, for we will be able to obtain it."

32. Yet truly, the others, who had been with him, were saying, "By no means are we able to ascend to this people, because they are stronger than we are."

33. And before the sons of Israel they disparaged the land, which they had inspected, saying: "The land, which we viewed, devours its inhabitants. The people, upon whom we gazed, were of lofty stature.

34. There, we saw some monsters among the sons of Anak, of the race of giants; by comparison with them, we seemed like locusts."
