Chapter 13
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, Send thou men, that they may spy
out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every
tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a prince among them.
And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment
of Jehovah: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. And
these were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben; Shammua the son of Zaccur. Of
the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb
the son of Jephunneh. Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. Of
the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun. Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti
the son of Raphu. Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. Of the
tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. Of
the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur
the son of Michael. Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. Of
the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. These are the names of the men that
Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun
Joshua.
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them,
Get you up this way ^2 by the South, and go up into the hill-country: and see
the land, what it is; and the people that dwell therein, whether they are
strong or weak, whether they are few or many; and what the land is that they
dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell
in, whether in camps, or in strongholds; and what the land is, whether it is
fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. And be ye of good
courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the
first-ripe grapes.
[Footnote 2: Or, into]
So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto
Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. And they went up ^2 by the South, and came
unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were
there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) And they came
unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster
of grapes, and they bare it upon a staff between two; they brought also of the
pomegranates, and of the figs. That place was called the valley of ^1 Eshcol,
because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
[Footnote 2: Or, into]
[Footnote 1: That is, a cluster.]
And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. And
they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the
children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back
word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of
the land. And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou
sentest us; and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit
of it. Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities
are fortified, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite,
and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the
sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.
[See The River Jordan: The source of the river Jordan - Paneas.]
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at
once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that
went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they
are stronger than we. And they brought up an evil report of the land which
they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through
which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants
thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. And
there we saw the ^2 Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and
we wede in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
[Footnote 2: Or, giants]
