Numbers 13:23-14:10 And having come to the valley of grapes, and viewed it, they cut there a branch with a cluster of grapes on it, and carried it on poles, with some pomegranates and figs:

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ And having come to the valley of grapes, and viewed it, they cut there a branch with a cluster of grapes on it, and carried it on poles, with some pomegranates and figs: ²⁴ and they called the name of that place, Valley of Grapes; because of the bunch of grapes which the children of Israel cut there. ²⁵ And having viewed the land, they set out thence on their return, after forty days, ²⁶ and journeying on came to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation of the Israelites in the wilderness of Pharan Kades, and made report to them and to all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. ²⁷ And they gave him a minute detail and said, We went to the country to which thou didst send us, a land flowing with milk and honey, and this is the fruit of it. ²⁸ But nevertheless because the nation which inhabiteth it is bold and the cities strong, defended with walls, and very large, and we have seen there the race of Enach; ²⁹ and the Amalekites dwell in the land to the south, and the Chettites, and the Evites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, inhabit the hilly country; and the Chananites dwell on the sea shore, and along the river Jordan; ³⁰ [Here Chaleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, We have only to go up, and we shall possess it, for we are stronger than they. ³¹ But the men who went up with him said] We will not go up; for we are not able to go up against that nation; for it is much more powerful than we are. ³² And they gave an astonishing account of the land which they had viewed, to the children of Israel, saying, The land through which we passed to view it, is a land which devoureth them who dwell therein; and all the people which we saw are men of immense stature. ³³ There indeed we saw the giants, and we were before them like grasshoppers; indeed we were nothing else before them. ¹⁴ ¹ Upon this, all the congregation, raising their voices, shouted aloud, and ² the people wept that whole night. And all the Israelites murmured against Moses and Aaron; and the whole congregation said to them, that we had died in the land of Egypt, or even in this wilderness! ³ If we must die, why doth the Lord lead us into that land to fall in battle? Our wives and our children will be for a prey. Now therefore it is better for us to return to Egypt. ⁴ Then they said to one another, Let us appoint a leader, and return to Egypt. ⁵ Upon this Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the congregation of the children of Israel, ⁶ and Joshua the son of Nave, and Chaleb the son of Jephonne, two of them who had viewed the land, rent their clothes, ⁷ and spoke to all the congregation of the Israelites, saying, The land which we viewed is indeed a most excellent land. ⁸ If the Lord delighteth in us, he will lead us to that land, and give it to us. It is a land flowing with milk and honey. ⁹ Only rebel not against the Lord, and you need not be afraid of the people of the land, for they are food for us. For their time is over, and the Lord is with us. Fear them not. ¹⁰ And when all the congregation ordered to stone them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud, over the tabernacle of the testimony, to all the children of Israel.
