³² And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.

³⁶ And the men whom Moses sent to see the land, and who, by the bad account they gave of the land, were the cause of the outcry the people made against Moses,

³⁷ Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.

⁹ Though I sent destruction on the Amorite before them, who was tall as the cedar and strong as the oak-tree, cutting off his fruit from on high and his roots from under the earth.

⁶ And again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim.

¹³ This is what the Lord has said: Because they say to you, You, O land, are the destruction of men, causing loss of children to your nation;

¹⁴ For this reason you will no longer take the lives of men and will never again be the cause of loss of children to your nation, says the Lord.

¹³ But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.

²⁸ But the people living in the land are strong, and the towns are walled and very great; further, we saw the children of Anak there.
