Numbers 13:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 13:26

24 The place was called the Valley of¹ Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there.

25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.

26 Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at ^aKadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly¹ flows with ^amilk and honey, ^band this is its fruit.

28 Nevertheless the ^apeople who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of ^bAnak there.

29 ^aThe Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.”

30 Then ^aCaleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”

31 ^aBut the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”

32 ^aAnd they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and ^ball the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.

33 There we saw the giants (^athe descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were ^blike grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were ^cin their sight.”
