Why should we go there? We are afraid. The men we sent tell us that the people there are stronger and taller than we are, and that they live in cities with walls that reach the sky. They saw giants there!'

The people themselves are tall and strong; they are giants, and you have heard it said that no one can stand against them.

They went first into the southern part of the land and came to Hebron, where the clans of Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of a race of giants called the Anakim, lived. (Hebron was founded seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

But the people who live there are powerful, and their cities are very large and well fortified. Even worse, we saw the descendants of the giants there.

and we even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. We felt as small as grasshoppers, and that is how we must have looked to them."
