Chapter 13

1


 

  And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,  

 

 

-

2


 

  Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.  

 

 

-

3


 

  And Moses, by the commandment of the LORD, sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.  

 

 

-

4


 

  And these were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manassah, Gaddi the son of Susi.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.  

 

 

-

16


 

  These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to explore the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.  

 

 

-

17


 

  And Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go ye up this way southward, and ascend the mountain:  

 

 

-

18


 

  And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;  

 

 

-

19


 

  And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;  

 

 

-

20


 

  And what the land is, whether it is fertile or barren, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.  

 

 

-

21


 

  So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath.  

 

 

-

22


 

  And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)  

 

 

-

23


 

  And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.  

 

 

-

24


 

  The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.  

 

 

-

25


 

  And they returned from exploring the land after forty days.  

 

 

-

26


 

  And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.  

 

 

-

27


 

  And they told him, and said, We came to the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.  

 

 

-

28


 

  Nevertheless, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.  

 

 

-

29


 

  The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.  

 

 

-

30


 

  And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.  

 

 

-

31


 

  But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.  

 

 

-

32


 

  And they brought an evil report of the land which they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, The land through which we have passed to search it, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it, are men of a great stature.  

 

 

-

33


 

  And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
