1 The Lordsaid to Moses, 2 "Choose a leader from each tribe and send them into Canaanto explore the land I am giving you."
3 So Mosessent twelve tribal leaders from Israel’s camp in the ParanDesert 4-16 with orders to explore the land of Canaan. And here are their names:
Shammuason of Zaccur
from Reuben,
Shaphatson of Hori
from Simeon,
Calebson of Jephunneh
from Judah,
Igalson of Joseph
from Issachar,
Joshuason of Nun
from Ephraim,13.4-16 Joshua … Ephraim: Hebrew "Hoshea son of Nun from Ephraim; Moses renamed him Joshua."
Paltison of Raphu
from Benjamin,
Gaddielson of Sodi
from Zebulun,
Gaddison of Susi
from Manasseh,
Ammielson of Gemalli
from Dan,
Sethurson of Michael
from Asher,
Nahbison of Vophsi
from Naphtali,
and Geuelson of Machi
from Gad.
17 Before Mosessent them into Canaan, he said:
After you go through the Southern Desert of Canaan, continue north into the hill country 18 and find out what those regions are like. Be sure to remember how many people live there, how strong they are, 19,20 and if they live in open towns or walled cities. See if the land is good for growing crops and find out what kinds of trees grow there. It’s time for grapes to ripen, so try to bring back some of the fruit that grows there.
21 The twelve men left to explore Canaan from the ZinDesert in the south all the way to the town of Rehobnear Lebo-Hamath in the north. 22 As they went through the Southern Desert, they came to the town of Hebron, which was seven years older than the Egyptiantown of Zoan. In Hebron, they saw the three Anakim13.22 Anakim: Perhaps a group of very large people (see Deuteronomy 2.10,11, 20,21).clans of Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai. 23,24 When they got to Bunch Valley,13.23,24 Bunch Valley: Or "Eshcol Valley."they cut off a branch with such a huge bunch of grapes, that it took two men to carry it on a pole. That’s why the place was called Bunch Valley. Along with the grapes, they also took back pomegranates13.23,24 pomegranates: A bright red fruit that looks like an apple.and figs.
The Men Report Back to the People
25 After exploring the land of Canaan for 40 days, 26 the twelve men returned to Kadeshin the ParanDesert and told Moses, Aaron, and the people what they had seen. They showed them the fruit 27 and said:
Look at this fruit! The land we explored is rich with milk and honey. 28 But the people who live there are strong, and their cities are large and walled. We even saw the three Anakim13.28 Anakim: See the note at 13.22.clans. 29 Besides that, the Amalekiteslive in the Southern Desert; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites are in the hill country; and the Canaanites13.29 Amalekites … Hittites … Jebusites … Amorites … Canaanites: These people lived in Canaan before the Israelites.live along the Mediterranean Seaand the Jordan River.
30 Calebcalmed down the crowd and said, "Let’s go and take the land. I know we can do it!"
31 But the other men replied, "Those people are much too strong for us." 32 Then they started spreading rumors and saying, "We won’t be able to grow anything in that soil. And the people are like giants. 33 Gn 6.4.In fact, we saw the Nephilim who are the ancestors of the Anakim. They were so big that we felt as small as grasshoppers."
