Numbers 13:23-30 Common English Bible (CEB)

23. Then they entered the Cluster ravine, cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and carried it on a pole between them. They also took pomegranates and figs.

24. That place was called the Cluster ravine because of the cluster of grapes that the Israelites cut down from there.

25. They returned from exploring the land after forty days.

26. They went directly to Moses, Aaron, and the entire Israelite community in the Paran desert at Kadesh. They brought back a report to them and to the entire community and showed them the land’s fruit.

27. Then they gave their report: "We entered the land to which you sent us. It’s actually full of milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

28. There are, however, powerful people who live in the land. The cities have huge fortifications. And we even saw the descendants of the Anakites there.

29. The Amalekites live in the land of the arid southern plain; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the mountains; and the Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan."

30. Now Caleb calmed the people before Moses and said, "We must go up and take possession of it, because we are more than able to do it."
