9 When they went up to the Valley* of Eshʹcol+ and saw the land, they discouraged the people of Israel from going into the land that Jehovah was to give them.+

28 What kind of place are we going to? Our brothers made us lose heart*+ by saying, “They are a people greater and taller than we are, and their cities are great and fortified to the heavens,*+ and we saw the sons of the Anʹa·kim+ there.”’
