013:014 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
013:015 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
013:016 These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land.
Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
013:017 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them,
Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country:
013:018 and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein,
whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
013:019 and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad;
and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps,
or in strongholds;
013:020 and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean,
whether there is wood therein, or not. Be of good courage,
and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time
of the first-ripe grapes.
013:021 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness
of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
013:022 They went up by the South, and came to Hebron;
and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there.
(Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
013:023 They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there
a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on
a staff between two; [they brought] also of the pomegranates,
and of the figs.
013:024 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster
which the children of Israel cut down from there.
013:025 They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
013:026 They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation
of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh;
and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation,
and shown them the fruit of the land.
013:027 They told him, and said, We came to the land where you sent us;
and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is
the fruit of it.
013:028 However the people who dwell in the land are strong,
and the cities are fortified, [and] very great:
and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
013:029 Amalek dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite,
and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill country;
and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side
of the Jordan.
013:030 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.
013:031 But the men who went up with him said, We aren't able to go
up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
013:032 They brought up an evil report of the land which they had
spied out to the children of Israel, saying, The land,
through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats
