Numbers 13

1And Jehovah spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SendH7971 thou menH376, that they may search out the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which I giveH5414 unto the children of IsraelH3478. Ye shall sendH7971 a manH376 of every tribeH4294 of his fathersH1, each a princeH5387 among them. 3And MosesH4872 sentH7971 them from the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290: according to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them headsH7218 of the children of IsraelH3478. 4And these are their namesH8034: for the tribeH4294 of ReubenH7205, ShammuaH8051 the sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139; 5for the tribeH4294 of SimeonH8095, ShaphatH8202 the sonH1121 of HoriH2753; 6for the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312; 7for the tribeH4294 of IssacharH3485, IgalH3008 the sonH1121 of JosephH3130; 8for the tribeH4294 of EphraimH669, HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of NunH5126; 9for the tribeH4294 of BenjaminH1144, PaltiH6406 the sonH1121 of Raphu; 10for the tribeH4294 of ZebulunH2074, Gaddiel the sonH1121 of Sodi; 11for the tribeH4294 of JosephH3130, for the tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519, Gaddi the sonH1121 of Susi; 12for the tribeH4294 of DanH1835, AmmielH5988 the sonH1121 of Gemalli; 13for the tribeH4294 of AsherH836, Sethur the sonH1121 of MichaelH4317; 14for the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, Nahbi the sonH1121 of Vophsi; 15for the tribeH4294 of GadH1410, Geuel the sonH1121 of Machi. 16These are the namesH8034 of the menH376 whom MosesH4872 sentH7971 to search out the landH776. And MosesH4872 calledH7121 HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, Jehoshua. 17And MosesH4872 sentH7971 them to search out the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and saidH559 to them, GoH5927 up this way by the southH5045 and goH5927 up into the hill-country, 18and ye shall seeH7200 the landH776, what it is; and the peopleH5971 that dwellH3427 in it, whether they are strongH2389 or weak, fewH4592 or manyH7227; 19and what the landH776 is that they dwellH3427 in, whether it is goodH2896 or badH7451; and what citiesH5892 they are that they dwellH3427 in, whether in campsH4264, or in strongholdsH4013; 20and what the landH776 is, whether it is fat or leanH7330, whether there are treesH6086 in it, or not. And takeH3947 courage, and bring of the fruitH6529 of the landH776. Now the time was the time of the first grapes. 21And they wentH935 up, and searched out the landH776 from the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790 to RehobH7340, where one comesH935 towards HamathH2574. 22And they wentH935 up by the southH5045, and cameH935 to HebronH2275; and AhimanH289, SheshaiH8344, and TalmaiH8526, the children of AnakH6061, were there. Now HebronH2275 had been builtH1129 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 before ZoanH6814 in EgyptH4714. 23And they cameH935 as far as the valley of EshcolH812, and cutH3772 down thence a branchH2156 with oneH259 bunch of grapes, and they boreH5375 it between twoH8147 upon a pole; and [they broughtH935] of the pomegranatesH7416, and of the figsH8384. 24That placeH4725 was calledH7121 the valley of EshcolH812, because of the grapes which the children of IsraelH3478 had cutH3772 down there. 25And they returnedH7725 from searching out the landH776 after fortyH705 daysH3117. 26And they cameH935, and wentH935 to MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, and to the whole assemblyH5712 of the children of IsraelH3478, to the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290, to KadeshH6946; and broughtH935 backH7725 wordH1697 to them, and to the whole assemblyH5712; and shewed them the fruitH6529 of the landH776. 27And they told him, and saidH559, We cameH935 to the landH776 to which thou didst sendH7971 us, and surely it floweth with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; and this is the fruitH6529 of it. 28OnlyH657, the peopleH5971 are strongH5794 that dwellH3427 in the landH776, and the citiesH5892 are walled, veryH3966 greatH1419; moreover we sawH7200 the children of AnakH6061 there. 29AmalekH6002 dwellsH3427 in the landH776 of the southH5045; and the HittitesH2850, and the Jebusites, and the AmoritesH567 dwellH3427 in the hill-country; and the CanaanitesH3669 dwellH3427 by the seaH3220, and by the side of the JordanH3383. 30And CalebH3612 stilled the peopleH5971 before MosesH4872, and saidH559, Let us goH5927 up boldly and possessH3423 it, for we are well ableH3201 to do it. 31But the menH376 that wentH5927 up with him saidH559, We are not ableH3201 to goH5927 up against the peopleH5971, for they are strongerH2389 than we. 32And they broughtH3318 to the children of IsraelH3478 an evilH1681 reportH1681 of the landH776 which they had searched out, sayingH559, The landH776, which we have passedH5674 through to search it out, is a landH776 that eateth up its inhabitantsH3427; and all the peopleH5971 that we have seenH7200 in it are menH376 of great stature; 33and there have we seenH7200 giants — the sonsH1121 of AnakH6061 are of the giants — and we wereH1961 in our sight as grasshoppersH2284, and so we wereH1961 also in their sight.
