*
and they turned and went up into the hill country ,
and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied it out .
*
And they took in their hands some of the fruit of the land and brought it down to us ,
and brought us word again ,
and said , `
It is a good land which the LORD our God gives us .'
* "
Yet you would not go up ,
but rebelled against the command of the LORD your God ;
*
and you murmured in your tents ,
and said , `
Because the LORD hated us he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt ,
to give us into the hand of the Amorites ,
to destroy us .
*
Whither are we going up ?
Our brethren have made our hearts melt ,
saying , "
The people are greater and taller than we ;
the cities are great and fortified up to heaven ;
and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there ."'
