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.”

Numbers 13:29

The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south—Their territory lay between the Dead and the Red Seas, skirting the borders of Canaan.

Hittites . . . dwell in the mountains—Their settlements were in the southern and mountainous part of Palestine (Genesis 23:7).

the Canaanites dwell by the sea—The remnant of the original inhabitants, who had been dispossessed by the Philistines, were divided into two nomadic hordes—one settled eastward near the Jordan; the other westward, by the Mediterranean.
