  • Num 13:3-9 : 3 And Moses, by the command of the LORD, sent them from the wilderness of Paran. All those men were leaders of the children of Israel. 4 And these were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 5 From the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 6 From the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 7 From the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 8 From the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun. 9 From the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 10 From the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 11 From the tribe of Joseph, namely, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 12 From the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 13 From the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 14 From the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 15 From the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to explore the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua. 17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way southward, and go up into the mountain: 18 See the land, how it is; and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many; 19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they dwell in, whether in tent camps or fortified cities; 20 And what the land is, whether it is rich or poor, whether there is wood in it, or not. Be of good courage, and bring some of the fruit of the land. Now was the time of the first ripe grapes. 21 So they went up and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near the entrance of Hamath. 22 And they ascended by the south and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 And they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they carried it between two on a staff. They also brought pomegranates and figs. 24 The place was called the Valley of Eshcol because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down there. 25 And they returned from exploring the land after forty days. 26 And they went and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to 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. 27 And they told him, and said, We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south; and the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan. 30 And Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it. 31 But the men who went up with him said, We cannot go up against the people, for they are stronger than we. 32 And they gave a bad report of the land which they had explored to the children of Israel, saying, The land through which we have gone to explore it is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, descendants of the giants; and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.
