26 A leur arrivée, ils se rendirent auprès de Moïse et d’Aaron, et de toute l’assemblée des enfants d’Israël, à Kadès dans le désert de Paran. Ils leur firent un rapport, ainsi qu’à toute l’assemblée, et ils leur montrèrent les fruits du pays.

27 Voici ce qu’ils racontèrent à Moïse: Nous sommes allés dans le pays où tu nous as envoyés. A la vérité, c’est un pays où coulent le lait et le miel, et en voici les fruits.

28 Mais le peuple qui habite ce pays est puissant, les villes sont fortifiées, très grandes; nous y avons vu des enfants d’Anak.

29 Les Amalécites habitent la contrée du midi; les Héthiens, les Jébusiens et les Amoréens habitent la montagne; et les Cananéens habitent près de la mer et le long du Jourdain.
