^31 (A)But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”

^24 (A)And they departed and went up into the mountains, and came to the Valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.

²⁸ Where can we go up? Our brethren have ^[a]discouraged our hearts, saying, ^(A)“The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; moreover we have seen the sons of the ^(B)Anakim there.” ’
