Verse 28 is found in chapter 13 of Numbers. The spies confirm that Canaan is a fertile land, but ten of them interpret its inhabitants and fortifications as insurmountable obstacles. Caleb, however, maintains that Israel can advance. The negative report does not deny the fertility of the land; it questions the possibility of conquering it. Thus, the central issue becomes how Israel interprets difficulties in light of God’s promise.

Sol vi è questo, che il popolo che abita in esso, è potente, e le città son molto forti e grandi; e anche vi abbiamo veduti i figliuoli di Anac.
