up the inhabitants of it; and all the people who we saw in it
are men of great stature.
013:033 There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of
the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers,
and so we were in their sight.
014:001 All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried;
and the people wept that night.
014:002 All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron:
and the whole congregation said to them, Would that we
had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died
in this wilderness!
014:003 Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword?
Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn't it
be better for us to return into Egypt?
014:004 They said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us
return into Egypt.
014:005 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly
of the congregation of the children of Israel.
014:006 Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:
