Numbers 13:1-16

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2“Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am going to give to the sons of Israel. From each of their fathers’ tribes you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.”

3So Moses sent spies from the Wilderness of Paran at the command of the Lord, all of them men who were heads of the Israelites.

4These were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;

5from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;

6from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

7from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;

8from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea [that is, Joshua] the son of Nun;

9from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;

10from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;

11from the tribe of Joseph, that is, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;

12from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;

13from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;

14from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;

15from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

16These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; but Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua (the Lord is salvation).
