1And the LORD3068 spake1696 unto Moses4872, saying559,
2Send7971 thou men582, that they may search8446 the land776 of Canaan3667, which I give5414 unto the children1121 of Israel3478: of every376 tribe4294 of their fathers1 shall ye send7971 a man259, every one a ruler5387 among them.
3And Moses4872 by the commandment6310 of the LORD3068 sent7971 them from the wilderness4057 of Paran6290: all those men582 were 1992 heads7218 of the children1121 of Israel3478.
4And these were their names8034: of the tribe4294 of Reuben7205, Shammua8051 the son1121 of Zaccur2139.
5Of the tribe4294 of Simeon8095, Shaphat8202 the son1121 of Hori2753.
6Of the tribe4294 of Judah3063, Caleb3612 the son1121 of Jephunneh3312.
7Of the tribe4294 of Issachar3485, Igal3008 the son1121 of Joseph3130.
8Of the tribe4294 of Ephraim669, Oshea1954 the son1121 of Nun5126.
9Of the tribe4294 of Benjamin1144, Palti6406 the son1121 of Raphu7505.
10Of the tribe4294 of Zebulun2074, Gaddiel1427 the son1121 of Sodi5476.
11Of the tribe4294 of Joseph3130, namely, of the tribe4294 of Manasseh4519, Gaddi1426 the son1121 of Susi5485.
12Of the tribe4294 of Dan1835, Ammiel5988 the son1121 of Gemalli1582.
13Of the tribe4294 of Asher836, Sethur5639 the son1121 of Michael4317.
14Of the tribe4294 of Naphtali5321, Nahbi5147 the son1121 of Vophsi2058.
15Of the tribe4294 of Gad1410, Geuel1345 the son1121 of Machi4352.
16These are the names8034 of the men582 which Moses4872 sent7971 to spy out8446 the land776. And Moses4872 called7121 Oshea1954 the son1121 of Nun5126 Jehoshua3091.
17And Moses4872 sent7971 them to spy out8446 the land776 of Canaan3667, and said559 unto them, Get you up5927 this way southward5045, and go up5927 into the mountain2022:
18And see7200 the land776, what it is; and the people5971 that dwelleth3427 therein, whether they be strong2389 or weak7504, few4592 or many7227;
19And what the land776 is that they dwell in3427, whether it be good2896 or bad7451; and what cities5892 they be that they dwell3427 in2007, whether in tents4264, or in strong holds4013;
20And what the land776 is, whether it be fat8082 or lean7330, whether there be3426 wood6086 therein, or not. And be ye of good courage2388, and bring3947 of the fruit6529 of the land776. Now the time3117 was the time3117 of the firstripe1061 grapes6025.
21So they went up5927, and searched8446 the land776 from the wilderness4057 of Zin6790 unto Rehob7340, as men come935 to Hamath2574.
22And they ascended5927 by the south5045, and came935 unto Hebron2275; where Ahiman289, Sheshai8344, and Talmai8526, the children3211 of Anak6061, were. (Now Hebron2275 was built1129 seven7651 years8141 before6440 Zoan6814 in Egypt4714.)
23And they came935 unto the brook5158 of Eshcol812, and cut down3772 from thence a branch2156 with one259 cluster811 of grapes6025, and they bare5375 it between two8147 upon a staff4132; and they brought of the pomegranates7416, and of the figs8384.
24The place4725 was called7121 the brook5158 Eshcol812, because of182 the cluster of grapes811 which the children1121 of Israel3478 cut down3772 from thence.
25And they returned7725 from searching8446 of the land776 after7093 forty705 days3117.
26And they went3212 and came935 to Moses4872, and to Aaron175, and to all the congregation5712 of the children1121 of Israel3478, unto the wilderness4057 of Paran6290, to Kadesh6946; and brought back7725 word1697 unto them, and unto all the congregation5712, and shewed7200 them the fruit6529 of the land776.
27And they told5608 him, and said559, We came935 unto the land776 whither thou sentest7971 us, and surely it floweth2100 with milk2461 and honey1706; and this is the fruit6529 of it.
28Nevertheless657 the people5971 be strong5794 that dwell3427 in the land776, and the cities5892 are walled1219, and very3966 great1419: and moreover we saw7200 the children3211 of Anak6061 there.
29The Amalekites6002 dwell3427 in the land776 of the south5045: and the Hittites2850, and the Jebusites2983, and the Amorites567, dwell3427 in the mountains2022: and the Canaanites3669 dwell3427 by the sea3220, and by the coast3027 of Jordan3383.
30And Caleb3612 stilled2013 the people5971 before Moses4872, and said559, Let us go up5927 at once5927, and possess3423 it; for we are well able3201 to overcome3201 it.
31But the men582 that went up5927 with him said559, We be not able3201 to go up5927 against the people5971; for they are stronger2389 than we.
32And they brought up3318 an evil report1681 of the land776 which they had searched8446 unto the children1121 of Israel3478, saying559, The land776, through which we have gone5674 to search8446 it, is a land776 that eateth up398 the inhabitants3427 thereof; and all the people5971 that we saw7200 in it8432 are men582 of a great stature4060.
33And there we saw7200 the giants5303, the sons1121 of Anak6061, which come of the giants5303: and we were in our own sight5869 as grasshoppers2284, and so we were in their sight5869.
