Vulgate (Clementine)
populum magnum atque sublimem, filios Enacim, quos ipse vidisti et audisti, quibus nullus potest ex adverso resistere.
Septuagint (Swete)
λαὸν μέγαν καὶ πολὺν καὶ εὐμήκη, υἱοὺς Ἐνάκ, οὓς σὺ οἶσθας καὶ σὺ ἀκήκοας Τίς ἀντιστήσεται κατὰ πρόσωπον υἱῶν Ἐνάκ;
Hebrew (WLC)
עַֽם גָּד֥וֹל וָרָ֖ם בְּנֵ֣י עֲנָקִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר אַתָּ֤ה יָדַ֨עְתָּ֙ וְאַתָּ֣ה שָׁמַ֔עְתָּ מִ֣י יִתְיַצֵּ֔ב לִפְנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י עֲנָֽק

Haydock's commentary

Stand. Hebrew, "who can stand before the sons of Enak?" as if this were a sort of proverb. (Calmet)

The spies had formerly terrified the people with the report of the high walls and gigantic inhabitants of Chanaan, Numbers xiii. 18.
