Numbers 13:3-26

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:

From the tribeH4294 of ReubenH7205, ShammuaH8051 sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139; 5from the tribeH4294 of SimeonH8095, ShaphatH8202 sonH1121 of HoriH2753; 6from the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, CalebH3612 sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312; 7from the tribeH4294 of IssacharH3485, IgalH3008 sonH1121 of JosephH3130; 8from the tribeH4294 of EphraimH669, HosheaH1954 sonH1121 of NunH5126; 9from the tribeH4294 of BenjaminH1144, PaltiH6406 sonH1121 of RaphuH7505; 10from the tribeH4294 of ZebulunH2074, GaddielH1427 sonH1121 of SodiH5476; 11from the tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519 (a tribeH4294 of JosephH3130), GaddiH1426 sonH1121 of SusiH5485; 12from the tribeH4294 of DanH1835, AmmielH5988 sonH1121 of GemalliH1582; 13from the tribeH4294 of AsherH836, SethurH5639 sonH1121 of MichaelH4317; 14from the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, NahbiH5147 sonH1121 of VophsiH2058; 15and from the tribeH4294 of GadH1410, GeuelH1345 sonH1121 of MachiH4352.

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.

17When MosesH4872 sentH7971 themH853 to spy outH8446 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, he toldH559 themH413, “Go upH5927 through the NegevH5045 andH5927 into the hill countryH2022. 18SeeH7200 whatH4100 the landH776 is likeH1931 andH853 whether its peopleH5971 are strongH2389H1931 or weakH7504, fewH4592H1931 orH518 manyH7227. 19Is the landH776 whereH834 theyH1931 liveH3427 goodH2896 orH518 badH7451H4100? 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.)

21So they went upH5927 and spied outH8446 the landH776 from the WildernessH4057 of ZinH6790 asH5704 far as RehobH7340, toward Lebo-hamathH935H2574. 22They went upH5927 through the NegevH5045 and cameH935 toH5704 HebronH2275, whereH8033 AhimanH289, SheshaiH8344, and TalmaiH8526, the descendantsH3211 of AnakH6061, dwelledH2275. It had been builtH1129 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 beforeH6440 ZoanH6814 in EgyptH4714.

23When they cameH935 toH5704 the ValleyH5158 of EshcolH812,2 they cut downH3772H8033 a branchH2156 with a singleH259 clusterH811 of grapesH6025, which they carriedH5375 on a poleH4132 between two menH8147. They also took someH4480 pomegranatesH7416H4480 and figsH8384. 24Because ofH5921H182 the clusterH811 of grapes the IsraelitesH1121H3478 cutH3772 thereH8033, thatH1931 placeH4725 was calledH7121 the ValleyH5158 of EshcolH812.

25AfterH7093 fortyH705 daysH3117 the men returnedH7725 from spying outH8446 the landH776, 26and they went backH1980H935 toH413 MosesH4872, AaronH175H413, and the wholeH3605 congregationH5712H1121 of IsraelH3478 inH413 the WildernessH4057 of ParanH6290 at KadeshH6946. They brought backH7725 a reportH1697 for the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 and showedH7200 themH853 the fruitH6529 of the landH776.
