AND Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
Send you men, that they may search the land of Kena`an, which I give unto the children of Yashar'el: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, everyone a ruler among them.
And Mosheh by the commandment of Yahuah sent them from the wilderness of Pa'ran: all those men were heads of the children of Yashar'el.
And these were their names: of the tribe of Re'uven, Shammua the son of Zakkur.
Of the tribe of Shim`on, Shaphat the son of Choriy.
Of the tribe of Yahudah, Kalev the son of Yephunneh.
Of the tribe of Yisshakar, Yig'al the son of Yoceph.
Of the tribe of Ephrayim, Husha the son of Nun.
Of the tribe of Binyamiyn, Paltiy the son of Raphu.
Of the tribe of Zevulun, Gaddiy'el the son of Codiy.
Of the tribe of Yoceph, namely, of the tribe of Menashsheh, Gaddiy the son of Cuciy.
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiy'el the son of Gemalliy.
Of the tribe of Asher, Cethur the son of Miyka'el.
Of the tribe of Naphtaliy, Nachbiy the son of Vophciy.
Of the tribe of Gad, Ge'u'el the son of Makiy.
These are the names of the men which Mosheh sent to spy out the land. And Mosheh called Husha the son of Nun Yahusha.
And Mosheh sent them to spy out the land of Kena`an, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
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 strongholds;
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.
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Tsin unto Rechov, as men come to Chamath.
And they ascended by the Negev, and came unto Chevron; where Achiyman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anaq, were. (Now Chevron was built seven years before Tso'an in Mitsrayim.)
And they came unto the brook of Eshkol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
The place was called Nachal Eshkol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Yashar'el cut down from thence.
And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
And they went and came to El-Mosheh, and to El-Aharon, and to all the assembly of the children of Yashar'el, unto the wilderness of Pa'ran, to Qadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the assembly, and showed them the fruit of the land.
And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
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 Anaq there.
The Amaleqiym dwell in the land of the Negev: and the Chittiym, and the Yevuciym, and the Emoriym, dwell in the mountains: and the Kena`aniym dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Yardan.
And Kalev stilled the people before Mosheh, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
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.
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Yashar'el, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eats up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
And there we saw the Nephiliym, the sons of Anaq, which come of the Naphaliym: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
