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.
11
Of the
tribe of
Joseph, namely, of the
tribe of
Manasseh, Gaddi the
son of
Susi.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
