A:When the spies returned and issued their report to Moses, they said that the land was 'flowing with milk and honey', but that the inhabitants were giants and and their cities fortified (Numbers 13:27-29), yet once the invasion began, no giants were to be found. The Bible describes the Israelites as easily conquering Jericho and makes no report of them meeting any giants. In fact, the Bible says they overran 31 cities without ever seeing the supposed giants. The Exodus story needed an explanation for the reluctance to enter the Promised Land, but the quite separate tradition of Joshua's conquest of Jericho and the Promised Land had no need of giants.
