God spoke to Moses:
2
"Send men to scout out the country of Canaan that I am giving to the People of Israel. Send one man from each ancestral tribe, each one a tried-and-true leader in the tribe."
3
So Moses sent them off from the Wilderness of Paran at the command of God. All of them were leaders in Israel, one from each tribe.
4
These were their names: from Reuben: Shammua son of Zaccur
5
from Simeon: Shaphat son of Hori
6
from Judah: Caleb son of Jephunneh
