  • Num 13:2-9 : 2 Send men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. You are to send one man from each ancestral tribe, each one a leader among them. 3 So Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran at the LORD’s command. All of them were men who were leaders of the Israelites. 4 These were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur; 5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori; 6 from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh; 7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph; 8 from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun; 9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu; 10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi; 11 from the tribe of Joseph, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi son of Susi; 12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli; 13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael; 14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi; 15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi. 16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to explore the land. Moses called Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua. 17 When Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan, he said to them, “Go up through the Negev and then into the hill country. 18 See what the land is like, and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many. 19 Is the land they live in good or bad? Are the towns they dwell in unwalled or fortified? 20 And what is the land like—is it fertile or barren? Does it have trees or not? Be courageous, and bring back some of the fruit of the land.” It was the season for the first ripe grapes. 21 So they went up and explored the land from the Wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo-hamath. 22 They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, descendants of Anak, were living. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 When they reached the Valley of Eshcol, they cut off a branch with a single cluster of grapes. They carried it on a pole between two of them, along with some pomegranates and figs. 24 That place was called the Valley of Eshcol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there. 25 At the end of forty days, they returned from exploring the land. 26 They came back to Moses, Aaron, and the entire assembly of the Israelites at Kadesh in the Wilderness of Paran. There they reported to them and showed them the fruit of the land.
  • Num 14:2 : 2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole community said to them, "If only we had died in Egypt or in this wilderness!
  • Deut 1:19-25 : 19 Then we set out from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which you saw, on the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us. And we came to Kadesh-barnea. 20 Then I said to you, 'You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.' 21 See, the LORD your God has set the land before you. Go up and take possession of it, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you. Do not be afraid or discouraged. 22 Then all of you approached me and said, 'Let us send men ahead of us to explore the land and bring back a report about the route we should take and the cities we will come to.' 23 The idea seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one man for each tribe. 24 They set out and went up into the hill country, and they came to the Valley of Eshkol and explored it. 25 Taking with them some of the fruit of the land, they brought it back to us. And they reported, 'The land that the LORD our God is giving us is good.'
  • Josh 14:6-7 : 6 The descendants of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, 'You know the word the LORD spoke to Moses, the man of God, about you and me in Kadesh Barnea.' 7 'I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back a report to him as it was in my heart.'
