1The LORD spoke to Moses , saying ,
2“Send men , that they may spy out the land of Canaan , which I give to the children of Israel . Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man , every one a prince amongst them .”
3Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD . All of them were men who were heads of the children of Israel .
4These were their names :
Of the tribe of Reuben , Shammua the son of Zaccur .
5Of the tribe of Simeon , Shaphat the son of Hori .
6Of the tribe of Judah , Caleb the son of Jephunneh .
7Of the tribe of Issachar , Igal the son of Joseph .
8Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun .
9Of the tribe of Benjamin , Palti the son of Raphu .
10Of the tribe of Zebulun , Gaddiel the son of Sodi .
11Of the tribe of Joseph , of the tribe of Manasseh , Gaddi the son of Susi .
12Of the tribe of Dan , Ammiel the son of Gemalli .
13Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael .
14Of the tribe of Naphtali , Nahbi the son of Vophsi .
15Of the tribe of Gad , Geuel the son of Machi .
16These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua .
17Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan , and said to them , “Go up this way by the South , and go up into the hill country .
18See the land, what it is ; and the people who dwell therein , whether they are strong or weak , whether they are few or many ;
19and 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 ;
20and what the land is , whether it is fertile or poor , whether there is wood therein, or not . Be courageous , and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes .
21So they went up , and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob , to the entrance of Hamath .
22They went up by the South , and came to Hebron ; and Ahiman, Sheshai , and Talmai , the children of Anak , were there . (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt .)
23They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes , and they bore it on a staff between two . They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs .
24That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there .
25They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days .
26They went and came to Moses , to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel , to the wilderness of Paran , to Kadesh ; and brought back word to them and to all the congregation . They showed them the fruit of the land.
27They told him , and said, “We came to the land where you sent us . Surely it flows with milk and honey , and this is its fruit .
28However , the people who dwell in the land are strong , and the cities are fortified and very large . Moreover , we saw the children of Anak there .
29Amalek dwells in the land of the South . The Hittite , the Jebusite , and the Amorite dwell in the hill country . The Canaanite dwells by the sea , and along the side of the Jordan .”
30Caleb stilled the people before Moses , and said, “Let’s go up at once , and possess it ; for we are well able to overcome it !”
31But the men who went up with him said, “We aren’t able to go up against the people ; for they are stronger than we .”
32They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel , saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out , is a land that eats up its inhabitants ; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature .
33There we saw the Nephilim , the sons of Anak , who come from the Nephilim . We were in our own sight as grasshoppers , and so we were in their sight .”[#13:33 or, giants; #13:33 or, giants]
