It is Numbers 13. Numbers 13:17 is the opord, and Numbers 13:26-31 is a good example of conflicting reporting by men who have seen the same thing, but whose differing perpsectives are driven by individual biases and fears.

This biblical piece is often used as a teaching vignette for HUMINT source ops to highlight the danger of relying on single sources, and to emphasize the value of using multiple sources with different backgrounds (known biases) for single targets to obtain those differing perspectives. It is also commonly used in teaching analysis, with a slightly different twist.
