“But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.”
But the men who had gone up with him said, 'We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are' — the ten spies' response ('we can't'—lo nuchal) directly contradicts Caleb's affirmation ('we certainly can'—ki yachol nuchal); the linguistic mirror reveals the fundamental question: does Israel trust in God's power or in military assessment?
