13The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H5592"Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites; from each of their ancestral tribes you shall send a man, every one a leader among them."H7971H582H8446H776H3667H5414H1121H3478H376H4294H1H7971H259H53873So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran, according to the command of the LORD, all of them leading men among the Israelites.H4872H6310H3068H7971H4057H6290H582H1992H7218H1121H34784These were their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;H8034H4294H7205H8051H1121H21395from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;H4294H8095H8202H1121H27536from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;H4294H3063H3612H1121H33127from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;H4294H3485H3008H1121H31308from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;H4294H669H1954H1121H51269from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;H4294H1144H6406H1121H750510from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;H4294H2074H1427H1121H547611from the tribe of Joseph (that is, from the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;H4294H3130H4294H4519H1426H1121H548512from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;H4294H1835H5988H1121H158213from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;H4294H836H5639H1121H431714from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;H4294H5321H5147H1121H205815from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.H4294H1410H1345H1121H435216These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses changed the name of Hoshea son of Nun to Joshua.H8034H582H4872H7971H8446H776H4872H7121H1954H1121H5126H309117Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up there into the Negeb, and go up into the hill country,H4872H7971H8446H776H3667H559H5927H5045H5927H202218and see what the land is like, and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many,H7200H776H5971H3427H2389H7504H4592H722719and whether the land they live in is good or bad, and whether the towns that they live in are unwalled or fortified,H776H3427H2896H7451H5892H3427H2007H4264H401320and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be bold, and bring some of the fruit of the land." Now it was the season of the first ripe grapes.H776H8082H7330H3426H6086H2388H3947H6529H776H3117H3117H1061H602521So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo-hamath.H5927H8446H776H4057H6790H7340H935H257422They went up into the Negeb, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the Anakites, were there. (Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)H5927H5045H935H2275H289H8344H8526H3211H6061H2275H1129H7651H8141H6440H6814H471423And they came to the Wadi Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them. They also brought some pomegranates and figs.H935H5158H812H3772H2156H259H811H6025H5375H8147H4132H7416H838424That place was called the Wadi Eshcol, because of the cluster that the Israelites cut down from there.H4725H7121H5158H812H182H811H1121H3478H377225At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land.H7725H8446H776H7093H705H311726And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the Israelites in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.H3212H935H4872H175H5712H1121H3478H4057H6290H6946H7725H1697H5712H7200H6529H77627And they told him, "We came to the land to which you sent us; it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.H5608H559H935H776H7971H2100H2461H1706H652928Yet the people who live in the land are strong, and the towns are fortified and very large; and besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there.H657H5971H5794H3427H776H5892H1219H3966H1419H7200H3211H606129The Amalekites live in the land of the Negeb; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the sea, and along the Jordan."H6002H3427H776H5045H2850H2983H567H3427H2022H3669H3427H3220H3027H338330But Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it."H3612H2013H5971H4872H559H5927H5927H3423H3201H320131Then the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against this people, for they are stronger than we."H582H5927H559H3201H5927H5971H238932So they brought to the Israelites an unfavorable report of the land that they had spied out, saying, "The land that we have gone through as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it are of great size.H3318H1681H776H8446H1121H3478H559H776H5674H8446H776H398H3427H5971H7200H8432H582H406033There we saw the Nephilim (the Anakites come from the Nephilim); and to ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them."H7200H5303H1121H6061H5303H5869H2284H5869
