³¹ But 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.

²⁸ Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts feeble with fear by saying, The people are greater and taller than we are, and the towns are great and walled up to heaven; and more than this, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.

⁸ My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.

⁹ For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they took from the children of Israel the desire to go into the land which the Lord had given them.

¹ Give ear, O Israel: today you are to go over Jordan, to take the heritage of nations greater and stronger than yourselves, and towns of great size with walls as high as heaven;

¹⁹ So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.
