Who this is

The Anakim were a race of unusually tall people living in Canaan before the conquest, and the fear they inspired in ten of the twelve spies Moses sent to scout the land was the direct cause of Israel's forty years of wilderness wandering; Caleb and Joshua alone were unafraid, trusting God to give victory regardless of the odds.
