Numbers 13:30 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 13:30

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.”
