And what the land [is], whether it [is] fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and you have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land”; now the days [are] days of the first-fruits of grapes.

And the men who have gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for it [is] stronger than we”;

and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we passed over to spy it out is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of stature;
33 Anyị hụrụ ndị Nefilim nʼebe ahụ (ndị bụ ụmụ ụmụ Anak, ndị sitere na ndị Nefilim). Nʼanya anyị, anyị dịka ụkpana nʼebe ha nọ, otu a ka anyị dịkwa nʼanya ha.”
and there we saw the giants, sons of Anak, of the giants; and we are as grasshoppers in our own eyes—and so we were in their eyes.”
