[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [2] “Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them.” [3] Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yahweh. All of them were men who were heads of the children of Israel. [4] These were their names: [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, Hoshea 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, of the tribe of Manasseh, 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 who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua. [17] Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country. [18] See the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are 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 camps, or in strongholds; [20] and what the land is, whether it is fertile or poor, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes. [21] So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. [22] They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) [23] They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. [24] That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there. [25] They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. [26] They went and came to Moses, 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. They showed them the fruit of the land. [27] They told him, and said, “We came to the land where you sent us. Surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. [28] However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there. [29] Amalek dwells in the land of the South. The Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country. The Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along the side of the Jordan.” [30] Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let’s go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it!” [31] But the men who went up with him said, “We aren’t able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” [32] They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature. [33] There we saw the Nephilim,§ the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim.§ We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”

[1] And the Lord H3068 spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 (QalInf) [2] Send H7971 (QalImpv) thou men, H582 that they may search H8446 (QalImpf) the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 which I give H5414 (QalActPtc) unto the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 of every H376 tribe H4294 of their fathers H1 shall ye send H7971 (QalImpf) a man, H259 every one a ruler H5387 among them. [3] And Moses H4872 by the commandment H6310 of the Lord H3068 sent H7971 (QalImpf) them from the wilderness H4057 of Paran: H6290 all those men H582 were H1992 heads H7218 of the children H1121 of Israel. H3478 [4] And these were their names: H8034 of the tribe H4294 of Reuben, H7205 Shammua H8051 the son H1121 of Zaccur. H2139 [5] Of the tribe H4294 of Simeon, H8095 Shaphat H8202 the son H1121 of Hori. H2753 [6] Of the tribe H4294 of Judah, H3063 Caleb H3612 the son H1121 of Jephunneh. H3312 [7] Of the tribe H4294 of Issachar, H3485 Igal H3008 the son H1121 of Joseph. H3130 [8] Of the tribe H4294 of Ephraim, H669 Oshea H1954 the son H1121 of Nun. H5126 [9] Of the tribe H4294 of Benjamin, H1144 Palti H6406 the son H1121 of Raphu. H7505 [10] Of the tribe H4294 of Zebulun, H2074 Gaddiel H1427 the son H1121 of Sodi. H5476 [11] Of the tribe H4294 of Joseph, H3130 namely, of the tribe H4294 of Manasseh, H4519 Gaddi H1426 the son H1121 of Susi. H5485 [12] Of the tribe H4294 of Dan, H1835 Ammiel H5988 the son H1121 of Gemalli. H1582 [13] Of the tribe H4294 of Asher, H836 Sethur H5639 the son H1121 of Michael. H4317 [14] Of the tribe H4294 of Naphtali, H5321 Nahbi H5147 the son H1121 of Vophsi. H2058 [15] Of the tribe H4294 of Gad, H1410 Geuel H1345 the son H1121 of Machi. H4352 [16] These are the names H8034 of the men H582 which Moses H4872 sent H7971 (QalPerf) to spy out H8446 (QalInf) the land. H776 And Moses H4872 called H7121 (QalImpf) Oshea H1954 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 Jehoshua. H3091 [17] And Moses H4872 sent H7971 (QalImpf) them to spy out H8446 (QalInf) the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Get you up H5927 (QalImpv) this way southward, H5045 and go up H5927 (QalPerf) into the mountain: H2022 [18] and see H7200 (QalPerf) the land, H776 what it is; and the people H5971 that dwelleth H3427 (QalActPtc) therein, whether they be strong H2389 or weak, H7504 few H4592 or many; H7227 [19] and what the land H776 is that they dwell in, H3427 (QalActPtc) whether it be good H2896 or bad; H7451 and what cities H5892 they be that they dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) in, H2007 whether in tents, H4264 or in strong holds; H4013 [20] and what the land H776 is, whether it be fat H8082 or lean, H7330 whether there be H3426 wood H6086 therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, H2388 (HithPerf) and bring H3947 (QalPerf) of the fruit H6529 of the land. H776 Now the time H3117 was the time H3117 of the firstripe H1061 grapes. H6025 [21] So they went up, H5927 (QalImpf) and searched H8446 (QalImpf) the land H776 from the wilderness H4057 of Zin H6790 unto Rehob, H7340 as men come H935 (QalInf) to Hamath. H2574 [22] And they ascended H5927 (QalImpf) by the south, H5045 and came H935 (QalImpf) unto Hebron; H2275 where Ahiman, H289 Sheshai, H8344 and Talmai, H8526 the children H3211 of Anak, H6061 were. (Now Hebron H2275 was built H1129 (NiphPerf) seven H7651 years H8141 before H6440 Zoan H6814 in Egypt.) H4714 [23] And they came H935 (QalImpf) unto the brook H5158§ of Eshcol, H812 and cut down H3772 (QalImpf) from thence a branch H2156 with one H259 cluster H811 of grapes, H6025 and they bare H5375 (QalImpf) it between two H8147 upon a staff; H4132 and they brought of the pomegranates, H7416 and of the figs. H8384 [24] The place H4725 was called H7121 (QalPerf) the brook H5158§ Eshcol, H812 because of H182 the cluster of grapes H811 which the children H1121 of Israel H3478 cut down H3772 (QalPerf) from thence. [25] And they returned H7725 (QalImpf) from searching H8446 (QalInf) of the land H776 after H7093 forty H705 days. H3117 [26] And they went H3212 (QalImpf) and came H935 (QalImpf) to Moses, H4872 and to Aaron, H175 and to all the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 unto the wilderness H4057 of Paran, H6290 to Kadesh; H6946 and brought back H7725 (HiphImpf) word H1697 unto them, and unto all the congregation, H5712 and shewed H7200 (HiphImpf) them the fruit H6529 of the land. H776 [27] And they told H5608 (PielImpf) him, and said, H559 (QalImpf) We came H935 (QalPerf) unto the land H776 whither thou sentest H7971 (QalPerf) us, and surely it floweth H2100 (QalActPtc) with milk H2461 and honey; H1706 and this is the fruit H6529 of it. [28] Nevertheless H657 the people H5971 be strong H5794 that dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) in the land, H776 and the cities H5892 are walled, H1219 (QalPasPtc) and very H3966 great: H1419 and moreover we saw H7200 (QalPerf) the children H3211 of Anak H6061 there. [29] The Amalekites H6002 dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) in the land H776 of the south: H5045 and the Hittites, H2850 and the Jebusites, H2983 and the Amorites, H567 dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) in the mountains: H2022 and the Canaanites H3669 dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) by the sea, H3220 and by the coast H3027 of Jordan. H3383 [30] And Caleb H3612 stilled H2013 (HiphImpf) the people H5971 before Moses, H4872 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Let us go up H5927 (QalImpf) at once, H5927 (QalInf) and possess H3423 (QalPerf) it; for we are well able H3201 (QalImpf) to overcome H3201 (QalInf) it. [31] But the men H582 that went up H5927 (QalPerf) with him said, H559 (QalPerf) We be not able H3201 (QalImpf) to go up H5927 (QalInf) against the people; H5971 for they are stronger H2389 than we. [32] And they brought up H3318 (HiphImpf) an evil report H1681 of the land H776 which they had searched H8446 (QalPerf) unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 (QalInf) The land, H776 through which we have gone H5674 (QalPerf) to search H8446 (QalInf) it, is a land H776 that eateth up H398 (QalActPtc) the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) thereof; and all the people H5971 that we saw H7200 (QalPerf) in it H8432 are men H582 of a great stature. H4060§ [33] And there we saw H7200 (QalPerf) the giants, H5303 the sons H1121 of Anak, H6061 which come of the giants: H5303 and we were in our own sight H5869 as grasshoppers, H2284 and so we were in their sight.
