And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Send{H7971}{(H8798)} thou men{H582}, that they may search{H8446}{(H8799)} the land{H776} of Canaan{H3667}, which I give{H5414}{(H8802)} unto the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}: of every{H376} tribe{H4294} of their fathers{H1} shall ye send{H7971}{(H8799)} a man{H259}, every one a ruler{H5387} among them.

And Moses{H4872} by the commandment{H6310} of the LORD{H3068} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} them from the wilderness{H4057} of Paran{H6290}: all those men{H582} were{H1992} heads{H7218} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}.

And these were their names{H8034}: of the tribe{H4294} of Reuben{H7205}, Shammua{H8051} the son{H1121} of Zaccur{H2139}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Simeon{H8095}, Shaphat{H8202} the son{H1121} of Hori{H2753}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Judah{H3063}, Caleb{H3612} the son{H1121} of Jephunneh{H3312}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Issachar{H3485}, Igal{H3008} the son{H1121} of Joseph{H3130}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Ephraim{H669}, Oshea{H1954} the son{H1121} of Nun{H5126}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Benjamin{H1144}, Palti{H6406} the son{H1121} of Raphu{H7505}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Zebulun{H2074}, Gaddiel{H1427} the son{H1121} of Sodi{H5476}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Joseph{H3130}, namely, of the tribe{H4294} of Manasseh{H4519}, Gaddi{H1426} the son{H1121} of Susi{H5485}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Dan{H1835}, Ammiel{H5988} the son{H1121} of Gemalli{H1582}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Asher{H836}, Sethur{H5639} the son{H1121} of Michael{H4317}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Naphtali{H5321}, Nahbi{H5147} the son{H1121} of Vophsi{H2058}.

Of the tribe{H4294} of Gad{H1410}, Geuel{H1345} the son{H1121} of Machi{H4352}.

These are the names{H8034} of the men{H582} which Moses{H4872} sent{H7971}{(H8804)} to spy out{H8446}{(H8800)} the land{H776}. And Moses{H4872} called{H7121}{(H8799)} Oshea{H1954} the son{H1121} of Nun{H5126} Jehoshua{H3091}.

And Moses{H4872} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} them to spy out{H8446}{(H8800)} the land{H776} of Canaan{H3667}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Get you up{H5927}{(H8798)} this way southward{H5045}, and go up{H5927}{(H8804)} into the mountain{H2022}:

And see{H7200}{(H8804)} the land{H776}, what it is; and the people{H5971} that dwelleth{H3427}{(H8802)} therein, whether they be strong{H2389} or weak{H7504}, few{H4592} or many{H7227};

And what the land{H776} is that they dwell in{H3427}{(H8802)}, whether it be good{H2896} or bad{H7451}; and what cities{H5892} they be that they dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} in{H2007}, whether in tents{H4264}, or in strong holds{H4013};

And what the land{H776} is, whether it be fat{H8082} or lean{H7330}, whether there be{H3426} wood{H6086} therein, or not. And be ye of good courage{H2388}{(H8694)}, and bring{H3947}{(H8804)} of the fruit{H6529} of the land{H776}. Now the time{H3117} was the time{H3117} of the firstripe{H1061} grapes{H6025}.

So they went up{H5927}{(H8799)}, and searched{H8446}{(H8799)} the land{H776} from the wilderness{H4057} of Zin{H6790} unto Rehob{H7340}, as men come{H935}{(H8800)} to Hamath{H2574}.

And they ascended{H5927}{(H8799)} by the south{H5045}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} unto Hebron{H2275}; where Ahiman{H289}, Sheshai{H8344}, and Talmai{H8526}, the children{H3211} of Anak{H6061}, were.(Now Hebron{H2275} was built{H1129}{(H8738)} seven{H7651} years{H8141} before{H6440} Zoan{H6814} in Egypt{H4714}.)

And they came{H935}{(H8799)} unto the brook{H5158} of Eshcol{H812}, and cut down{H3772}{(H8799)} from thence a branch{H2156} with one{H259} cluster{H811} of grapes{H6025}, and they bare{H5375}{(H8799)} it between two{H8147} upon a staff{H4132}; and they brought of the pomegranates{H7416}, and of the figs{H8384}.

The place{H4725} was called{H7121}{(H8804)} the brook{H5158} Eshcol{H812}, because of{H182} the cluster of grapes{H811} which the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} cut down{H3772}{(H8804)} from thence.

And they returned{H7725}{(H8799)} from searching{H8446}{(H8800)} of the land{H776} after{H7093} forty{H705} days{H3117}.

And they went{H3212}{(H8799)} and came{H935}{(H8799)} to Moses{H4872}, and to Aaron{H175}, and to all the congregation{H5712} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, unto the wilderness{H4057} of Paran{H6290}, to Kadesh{H6946}; and brought back{H7725}{(H8686)} word{H1697} unto them, and unto all the congregation{H5712}, and shewed{H7200}{(H8686)} them the fruit{H6529} of the land{H776}.

And they told{H5608}{(H8762)} him, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, We came{H935}{(H8804)} unto the land{H776} whither thou sentest{H7971}{(H8804)} us, and surely it floweth{H2100}{(H8802)} with milk{H2461} and honey{H1706}; and this is the fruit{H6529} of it.

Nevertheless{H657} the people{H5971} be strong{H5794} that dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} in the land{H776}, and the cities{H5892} are walled{H1219}{(H8803)}, and very{H3966} great{H1419}: and moreover we saw{H7200}{(H8804)} the children{H3211} of Anak{H6061} there.

The Amalekites{H6002} dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} in the land{H776} of the south{H5045}: and the Hittites{H2850}, and the Jebusites{H2983}, and the Amorites{H567}, dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} in the mountains{H2022}: and the Canaanites{H3669} dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} by the sea{H3220}, and by the coast{H3027} of Jordan{H3383}.

And Caleb{H3612} stilled{H2013}{(H8686)} the people{H5971} before Moses{H4872}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Let us go up{H5927}{(H8799)} at once{H5927}{(H8800)}, and possess{H3423}{(H8804)} it; for we are well able{H3201}{(H8799)} to overcome{H3201}{(H8800)} it.

But the men{H582} that went up{H5927}{(H8804)} with him said{H559}{(H8804)}, We be not able{H3201}{(H8799)} to go up{H5927}{(H8800)} against the people{H5971}; for they are stronger{H2389} than we.

And they brought up{H3318}{(H8686)} an evil report{H1681} of the land{H776} which they had searched{H8446}{(H8804)} unto the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, The land{H776}, through which we have gone{H5674}{(H8804)} to search{H8446}{(H8800)} it, is a land{H776} that eateth up{H398}{(H8802)} the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} thereof; and all the people{H5971} that we saw{H7200}{(H8804)} in it{H8432} are men{H582} of a great stature{H4060}.

And there we saw{H7200}{(H8804)} the giants{H5303}, the sons{H1121} of Anak{H6061}, which come of the giants{H5303}: and we were in our own sight{H5869} as grasshoppers{H2284}, and so we were in their sight{H5869}.
