(Num 13:1) And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
(Num 13:2) 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.
(Num 13:3) 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.
(Num 13:4) And these {were} their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
(Num 13:5) Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
(Num 13:6) Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
(Num 13:7) Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
(Num 13:8) Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
(Num 13:9) Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
(Num 13:10) Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
(Num 13:11) Of the tribe of Joseph, {namely}, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.

(Num 13:14) Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
(Num 13:15) Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
(Num 13:16) These {are} the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
(Num 13:17) 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:
(Num 13:18) And see the land, what it {is}, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they {be} strong or weak, few or many;
(Num 13:19) 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;
(Num 13:20) 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.
(Num 13:21) So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
(Num 13:22) 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.)
(Num 13:23) 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.
(Num 13:24) The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
(Num 13:25) And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
(Num 13:26) 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.
(Num 13:27) 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.
(Num 13:28) 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.
(Num 13:29) 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.
(Num 13:30) 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.
(Num 13:31) 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.
(Num 13:32) 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.
(Num 13:33) 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.
