NUMBERS—NOTE ON Numbers 13:25 The spies’ report covers the same events described in vv. Numbers 13:17. But while the earlier account is straightforward and factual, the spies’ account is vivid and exaggerated, designed to dismay the hearers. Their reference to Nephilim is most likely an excuse for their disobedience rather than an accurate report of what they saw in Canaan. The only other biblical mention of the Nephilim is before the flood (see note on Gen. 6:4).
