23 When they came back to the watercourse of Eshcol they cut from there a pruned slip with one cluster of grapes and carried it on a slider bar by two, also some of the pomegranates and the figs.
24 That place one called the watercourse of Eshcol on account of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.
25 So they returned from exploring the land at the end of forty days.
26 Then they went and came to Moses, Aaron and to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel at the wilderness of Paran, toward Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to the whole congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 They related to him and said:We came to the land to which you sent us, and indeed it is gushing with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
28 Only that the people dwelling in the land are strong and the cities are defended and exceedingly great. Moreover, the children of Anak we saw there.
29 Amalek is dwelling in the land of the Negev, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Jebusite and the Amorite are dwelling in the hill-country, and the Canaanite are dwelling by the sea and by the side of the Jordan.
30 Then Caleb quelled the muttering of the people against Moses and said:We should go up, yea up and tenant it, for we are able to prevail against it.
31 Yet the men who went up with him said:We are not able to go up against the people, for they are more courageous than we.
32 Thus they brought forth among the sons of Israel disparaging muttering about the land which they had explored, saying:The land through which we passed to explore it, it is a land that is devouring its dwellers; it and all the people whom we saw in its midst were men of great measure.
33 There we saw the distinguished (the sons of Anak are part of the distinguished ones). And we became, in our own eyes, like grasshoppers; so we became in their eyes.
