Dual Panel1Then the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to Moses<4872> saying<559>,
2"Send<7971> out for yourself men<376> so that they may spy<8446> out the land<776> of Canaan<3667>, which<834> I am going to give<5414> to the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>; you shall send<7971> a man<376> from each<376><259> of their fathers'<1> tribes<4294>, every<3605> one<3605> a leader<5387> among them."
3So Moses<4872> sent<7971> them from the wilderness<4057> of Paran<6290> at the command<6310> of the LORD<3068>, all<3605> of them men<376> who were heads<7218> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>.
4These<428> then were their names<8034>: from the tribe<4294> of Reuben<7205>, Shammua<8051> the son<1121> of Zaccur<2139>;
5from the tribe<4294> of Simeon<8095>, Shaphat<8202> the son<1121> of Hori<2752>;
6from the tribe<4294> of Judah<3063>, Caleb<3612> the son<1121> of Jephunneh<3312>;
7from the tribe<4294> of Issachar<3485>, Igal<3008> the son<1121> of Joseph<3130>;
8from the tribe<4294> of Ephraim<669>, Hoshea<1954> the son<1121> of Nun<5126>;
9from the tribe<4294> of Benjamin<1144>, Palti<6406> the son<1121> of Raphu<7505>;
10from the tribe<4294> of Zebulun<2074>, Gaddiel<1427> the son<1121> of Sodi<5476>;
11from the tribe<4294> of Joseph<3130>, from the tribe<4294> of Manasseh<4519>, Gaddi<3426> the son<1121> of Susi<5485>;
12from the tribe<4294> of Dan<1835>, Ammiel<5988> the son<1121> of Gemalli<1582>;
13from the tribe<4294> of Asher<836>, Sethur<5639> the son<1121> of Michael<4317>;
14from the tribe<4294> of Naphtali<5321>, Nahbi<5147> the son<1121> of Vophsi<2058>;
15from the tribe<4294> of Gad<1410>, Geuel<1345> the son<1121> of Machi<4352>.
16These<428> are the names<8034> of the men<376> whom<834> Moses<4872> sent<7971> to spy<8446> out the land<776>; but Moses<4872> called<7121> Hoshea<1954> the son<1121> of Nun<5126>, Joshua<3091>.
17When Moses<4872> sent<7971> them to spy<8446> out the land<776> of Canaan<3667>, he said<559> to them, "Go<5927> up there<2088> into the Negev<5045>; then go<5927> up into the hill<2022> country<2022>.
18"See<7200> what<4100> the land<776> is like, and whether the people<5971> who live<3427> in it are strong<2389> or weak<7504>, whether they are few<4592> or<518> many<7227>.
19"How<4100> is the land<776> in which<834> they live<3427>, is it good<2896> or<518> bad<7451>? And how<4100> are the cities<5892> in which<834><1992> they live<3427>, are they like open camps<4264> or<518> with fortifications<4013>?
20"How<4100> is the land<776>, is it fat<8082> or<518> lean<7330>? Are there<3426> trees<6086> in it or<518> not? Make<2388> an effort<2388> then to get<3947> some<4480> of the fruit<6529> of the land<776>." Now the time<3117> was the time<3117> of the first<1061> ripe<1061> grapes<6025>.
21So they went<5927> up and spied<8446> out the land<776> from the wilderness<4057> of Zin<6790> as far<5704> as Rehob<7340>, at Lebo-hamath<935>.
22When they had gone<5927> up into the Negev<5045>, they came<935> to Hebron<2275> where<8033> Ahiman<289>, Sheshai<8344> and Talmai<8526>, the descendants<3211> of Anak<6061> were. (Now Hebron<2275> was built<1129> seven<7651> years<8141> before<6440> Zoan<6814> in Egypt<4714>.)
23Then they came<935> to the valley<5158> of Eshcol<812> and from there<8033> cut<3772> down<3772> a branch<2156> with a single<259> cluster<811> of grapes<6025>; and they carried<5375> it on a pole<4132> between two<8147> men, with some<4480> of the pomegranates<7416> and the figs<8384>.
24That place<4725> was called<7121> the valley<5158> of Eshcol<812>, because<5921><182> of the cluster<811> which<834> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> cut<3772> down<3772> from there<8033>.
25When they returned<7725> from spying<8446> out the land<776>, at the end<7093> of forty<705> days<3117>,
26they proceeded<1980> to come<935> to Moses<4872> and Aaron<175> and to all<3605> the congregation<5712> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> in the wilderness<4057> of Paran<6290>, at Kadesh<6946>; and they brought<7725> back<7725> word<1697> to them and to all<3605> the congregation<5712> and showed<7200> them the fruit<6529> of the land<776>.
27Thus they told<5608> him, and said<559>, "We went<935> in to the land<776> where<834> you sent<7971> us; and it certainly<1571> does flow<2100> with milk<2461> and honey<1706>, and this<2088> is its fruit<6529>.
28"Nevertheless<657><3588>, the people<5971> who live<3427> in the land<776> are strong<5794>, and the cities<5892> are fortified<1219> and very<3966> large<1419>; and moreover<1571>, we saw<7200> the descendants<3211> of Anak<6061> there<8033>.
29"Amalek<6002> is living<3427> in the land<776> of the Negev<5045> and the Hittites<2850> and the Jebusites<2983> and the Amorites<567> are living<3427> in the hill<2022> country<2022>, and the Canaanites<3669> are living<3427> by the sea<3220> and by the side<3027> of the Jordan<3383>."
30Then Caleb<3612> quieted<2013> the people<5971> before<413> Moses<4872> and said<559>, "We should by all<5927> means<5927> go<5927> up and take<3423> possession<3423> of it, for we will surely<3201> overcome<3201> it."
31But the men<376> who<834> had gone<5927> up with him said<559>, "We are not able<3201> to go<5927> up against<413> the people<5971>, for they are too<4480> strong<2389> for us."
32So they gave<3318> out to the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> a bad<1681> report<1681> of the land<776> which<834> they had spied<8446> out, saying<559>, "The land<776> through<5674> which<834> we have gone<5674>, in spying<8446> it out, is a land<776> that devours<398> its inhabitants<3427>; and all<3605> the people<5971> whom<834> we saw<7200> in it are men<376> of great size<4060>.
33"There<8033> also we saw<7200> the Nephilim<5303> (the sons<1121> of Anak<6061> are part of the Nephilim<5303>); and we became<1961> like grasshoppers<2284> in our own sight<5869>, and so<3651> we were in their sight<5869>."
