1
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
2Send[H7971] thou men[H582], that they may search[H8446] the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], which I give[H5414] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]: of every[H376]tribe[H4294] of their fathers[H1] shall ye send[H7971] a man[H259], every[H376] one a ruler[H5387] among them.
3
And Moses[H4872] by the commandment[H6310] of the LORD[H3068]sent[H7971] 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].

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] to spy out[H8446] the land[H776]. And Moses[H4872]called[H7121]Oshea[H1954] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126]Jehoshua[H3091].
17
And Moses[H4872]sent[H7971] them to spy out[H8446] the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], and said[H559] unto them, Get you up[H5927] this way southward[H5045], and go up[H5927] into the mountain[H2022]:
18
And see[H7200] the land[H776], what it is; and the people[H5971] that dwelleth[H3427] therein, whether they be strong[H2389] or weak[H7504], few[H4592] or many[H7227];
19
And what the land[H776] is that they dwell[H3427]in[H3427], whether it be good[H2896] or bad[H7451]; and what cities[H5892] they be that they dwell[H3427]in[H2007], whether in[H2007]tents[H4264], or in[H2007] strong holds[H4013];
20
And what the land[H776] is, whether it be[H3426]fat[H8082] or lean[H7330], whether there be[H3426]wood[H6086] therein, or not. And be[H3426] ye of good courage[H2388], and bring[H3947] 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], and searched[H8446] the land[H776] from the wilderness[H4057] of Zin[H6790] unto Rehob[H7340], as men come[H935] to Hamath[H2574].
22
And they ascended[H5927] by the south[H5045], and came[H935] unto Hebron[H2275]; where Ahiman[H289], Sheshai[H8344], and Talmai[H8526], the children[H3211] of Anak[H6061], were.(Now Hebron[H2275] was built[H1129]seven[H7651]years[H8141]before[H6440]Zoan[H6814] in Egypt[H4714].)
23
And they came[H935] unto the brook[H5158] of Eshcol[H812], and cut down[H3772] from thence a branch[H2156] with one[H259]cluster[H811] of grapes[H6025], and they bare[H5375] 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] the brook[H5158]Eshcol[H812], because of[H182] the cluster of[H182]grapes[H811] which the children[H1121]of[H182]Israel[H3478] cut down[H3772] from thence.
25
And they returned[H7725] from searching[H8446] of the land[H776]after[H7093]forty[H705]days[H3117].
26
And they went[H3212] and came[H935] 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]word[H1697] unto them, and unto all the congregation[H5712], and shewed[H7200] them the fruit[H6529] of the land[H776].
27
And they told[H5608] him, and said[H559], We came[H935] unto the land[H776] whither thou sentest[H7971] us, and surely it floweth[H2100] with milk[H2461] and honey[H1706]; and this is the fruit[H6529] of it.
28Nevertheless[H657] the people[H5971] be strong[H5794] that dwell[H3427] in the land[H776], and the cities[H5892] are walled[H1219], and very[H3966]great[H1419]: and moreover we saw[H7200] the children[H3211] of Anak[H6061] there.
29
The Amalekites[H6002]dwell[H3427] in the land[H776] of the south[H5045]: and the Hittites[H2850], and the Jebusites[H2983], and the Amorites[H567], dwell[H3427] in the mountains[H2022]: and the Canaanites[H3669]dwell[H3427] by the sea[H3220], and by the coast[H3027] of Jordan[H3383].
30
And Caleb[H3612]stilled[H2013] the people[H5971] before Moses[H4872], and said[H559], Let us go up[H5927] at once[H5927], and possess[H3423] it; for we are well able[H3201] to overcome[H3201] it.
31
But the men[H582] that went up[H5927] with him said[H559], We be not able[H3201] to go up[H5927] against the people[H5971]; for they are stronger[H2389] than we.
32
And they brought up[H3318] an evil report[H1681] of the land[H776] which they had searched[H8446] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], The land[H776], through which we have gone[H5674] to search[H8446]it[H8432], is a land[H776] that eateth up[H398] the inhabitants[H3427] thereof; and all the people[H5971] that we saw[H7200] in it[H8432] are men[H582] of a great stature[H4060].
33
And there we saw[H7200] 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[H5869].
