1And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SendH7971 thou menH582, that they may searchH8446 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which I giveH5414 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: of everyH376 tribeH4294 of their fathersH1 shall ye sendH7971 a manH259, every one a rulerH5387 among them. 3And MosesH4872 by the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 sentH7971 them from the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290: all those menH582 were headsH7218 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 4And these were their namesH8034: of the tribeH4294 of ReubenH7205, ShammuaH8051 the sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139. 5Of the tribeH4294 of SimeonH8095, ShaphatH8202 the sonH1121 of HoriH2753. 6Of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312. 7Of the tribeH4294 of IssacharH3485, IgalH3008 the sonH1121 of JosephH3130. 8Of the tribeH4294 of EphraimH669, OsheaH1954 the sonH1121 of NunH5126.1 9Of the tribeH4294 of BenjaminH1144, PaltiH6406 the sonH1121 of RaphuH7505. 10Of the tribeH4294 of ZebulunH2074, GaddielH1427 the sonH1121 of SodiH5476. 11Of the tribeH4294 of JosephH3130, namely, of the tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519, GaddiH1426 the sonH1121 of SusiH5485. 12Of the tribeH4294 of DanH1835, AmmielH5988 the sonH1121 of GemalliH1582. 13Of the tribeH4294 of AsherH836, SethurH5639 the sonH1121 of MichaelH4317. 14Of the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, NahbiH5147 the sonH1121 of VophsiH2058. 15Of the tribeH4294 of GadH1410, GeuelH1345 the sonH1121 of MachiH4352. 16These are the namesH8034 of the menH582 whom MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spy outH8446 the landH776. And MosesH4872 calledH7121 OsheaH1954 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 JehoshuaH3091.23 17And MosesH4872 sentH7971 them to spy outH8446 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and saidH559 to them, Go upH5927 this way southwardH5045, and go upH5927 to the mountainH2022: 18And seeH7200 the landH776, what it is ; and the peopleH5971 that dwellH3427 in it, whether they are strongH2389 or weakH7504, fewH4592 or manyH7227; 19And what the landH776 is that they dwell inH3427, whether it is goodH2896 or badH7451; and what citiesH5892 they are that they dwellH3427 inH2007, whether in tentsH4264, or in strong holdsH4013; 20And what the landH776 is, whether it is richH8082 or barrenH7330, whether there isH3426 woodH6086 in it, or not. And be ye of good courageH2388, and bringH3947 of the fruitH6529 of the landH776. Now the timeH3117 was the timeH3117 of the firstripeH1061 grapesH6025.

21So they went upH5927, and searchedH8446 the landH776 from the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790 to RehobH7340, as men comeH935 to HamathH2574. 22And they went upH5927 by the southH5045, and cameH935 to HebronH2275; where AhimanH289, SheshaiH8344, and TalmaiH8526, the childrenH3211 of AnakH6061, were . (Now HebronH2275 was builtH1129 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 beforeH6440 ZoanH6814 in EgyptH4714.) 23And they cameH935 to the brookH5158 of EshcolH812, and cut downH3772 from there a branchH2156 with oneH259 clusterH811 of grapesH6025, and they boreH5375 it between twoH8147 upon a staffH4132; and they brought of the pomegranatesH7416, and of the figsH8384.4 24The placeH4725 was calledH7121 the brookH5158 EshcolH812, because ofH182 the cluster of grapesH811 which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cut downH3772 from there.56 25And they returnedH7725 from searchingH8446 the landH776 afterH7093 fortyH705 daysH3117.

26And they wentH3212 and cameH935 to MosesH4872, and to AaronH175, and to all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, to the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290, to KadeshH6946; and brought backH7725 wordH1697 to them, and to all the congregationH5712, and showedH7200 them the fruitH6529 of the landH776. 27And they toldH5608 him, and saidH559, We cameH935 to the landH776 where thou sentestH7971 us, and surely it flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; and this is the fruitH6529 of it. 28NeverthelessH657 the peopleH5971 are strongH5794 that dwellH3427 in the landH776, and the citiesH5892 are walledH1219, and veryH3966 greatH1419: and moreover we sawH7200 the childrenH3211 of AnakH6061 there. 29The AmalekitesH6002 dwellH3427 in the landH776 of the southH5045: and the HittitesH2850, and the JebusitesH2983, and the AmoritesH567, dwellH3427 in the mountainsH2022: and the CanaanitesH3669 dwellH3427 by the seaH3220, and by the banksH3027 of the JordanH3383. 30And CalebH3612 stilledH2013 the peopleH5971 before MosesH4872, and saidH559, Let us go upH5927 at onceH5927, and possessH3423 it; for we are well ableH3201 to overcomeH3201 it. 31But the menH582 that went upH5927 with him saidH559, We are not ableH3201 to go upH5927 against the peopleH5971; for they are strongerH2389 than we. 32And they broughtH3318 an bad reportH1681 of the landH776 which they had searchedH8446 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The landH776, through which we have passedH5674 to searchH8446 it, is a landH776 that eateth upH398 its inhabitantsH3427; and all the peopleH5971 that we sawH7200 in itH8432 are menH582 of a great statureH4060.7 33And there we sawH7200 the giantsH5303, the sonsH1121 of AnakH6061, who come of the giantsH5303: and we were in our own sightH5869 as grasshoppersH2284, and so we were in their sightH5869.
