SCOUTS REPORT SEEING GIANTS! THE ISRAELITE scouts sent out by Moses had traveled by foot over much of Canaan. They had looped around to arrive at Hebron, a city not too far from Kadesh. The rose-red city of Kadesh was the scouts' starting point, where the twelve tribes were encamped and awaiting reports from the twelve-man expedition. On leaving Hebron, the Israelites suddenly found themselves confronted by several soldiers blocking the narrow street. "We can't turn back now," Joshua said in a low voice to Caleb. "If we turn back, they'll probably take after us!" Giants! As the scouts neared the soldiers, they were amazed to realize that some of them were almost twice as tall as ordinary men! The towering soldiers saw the expressions of growing unbelief on the faces of the scouts, who now were close enough to notice the hostility on the faces of the soldiers. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
