From eachH3605 of their fathersH1’ tribesH4294 sendH7971 oneH259 manH376H259 who is a leaderH5387 among them.”

3So atH5921 the commandH63101 of the LORDH3068, MosesH4872 sent themH7971 outH853 from the WildernessH4057 of ParanH6290. AllH3605 the menH582 were leadersH7218 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478, 4and theseH428 were their namesH8034:

16TheseH428 were the namesH8034 of the menH582 MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spy outH8446 the landH776; and MosesH4872 gaveH7121 to HosheaH1954 sonH1121 of NunH5126 the name JoshuaH3091.

Are the citiesH5892 whereH834 theyH1931 dwellH3427 open campsH4264 orH518 fortificationsH4013? 20Is the soilH776 fertileH8082H1931 orH518 unproductiveH7330? Are thereH3426 treesH6086 in it orH518 notH369? Be courageousH2388 and bring backH3947 some of the fruitH6529 of the landH776.” (It was the seasonH3117 for the first ripeH1061 grapesH6025.)
