1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, say­ing, 2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto 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 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 which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Os­hea the son of Nun Je­hoshua. 17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way south­ward, and go up into the moun­tain: 18 And see the land, what it is; and the peo­ple that dwelleth there­in, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; 20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood there­in, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes. 21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilder­ness of Zin unto Re­hob, as men come to Hamath. 22 And they as­cend­ed by the south, and came unto 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 unto the brook of Es­h­col, and cut down from thence a branch with one clus­ter of grapes, and they bare 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 search­ing of 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, unto the wilder­ness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the con­gre­ga­tion, and shewed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him, and said, We came unto 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 be 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 be not able to go up against the peo­ple; for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought up an evil re­port of the land which they had searched unto the chil­dren of Is­rael, say­ing, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the in­hab­i­tants there­of; 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, which come of the gi­ants: and we were in our own sight as grasshop­pers, and so we were in their sight.
