³¹ But the men who had gone up with him said, “We cannot attack these people; they are too strong for us.” ³² They spread discouraging reports^(A) among the Israelites about the land they had reconnoitered, saying, “The land that we went through and reconnoitered is a land that consumes its inhabitants. And all the people we saw there are huge. ^33 (B)There we saw the Nephilim^[a] (the Anakim are from the Nephilim); in our own eyes we seemed like mere grasshoppers, and so we must have seemed to them.”

²⁴ But as for my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and follows me unreservedly,^(A) I will bring him into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall possess it.

^12 (A)except the Kenizzite^[a] Caleb, son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua, son of Nun, since they have followed the Lord unreservedly.

³⁶ except Caleb,^[a] son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, for to him and to his descendants I will give the land he trod upon,^(A) because he has fully followed the Lord.
