3And Moses sendeth them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of Jehovah; all of them are men, heads of the sons of Israel they are,Select Numbers 13:3

16These are the names of the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land; and Moses calleth Hoshea son of Nun, Jehoshua.Select Numbers 13:16

17And Moses sendeth them to spy the land of Canaan, and saith unto them, `Go ye up this way into the south, and ye have gone up the mountain,Select Numbers 13:17

18and have seen the land what it is , and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it is strong or feeble; whether it is few or many;Select Numbers 13:18

19and what the land is in which it is dwelling, whether it is good or bad; and what are the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses;Select Numbers 13:19

20And what the land is , whether it is fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and ye have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land;' and the days are days of the first-fruits of grapes.Select Numbers 13:20

21And they go up and spy the land, from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the going in to Hamath;Select Numbers 13:21

22and they go up by the south, and come in unto Hebron, and there are Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt),Select Numbers 13:22

23and they come in unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch and one cluster of grapes, and they bear it on a staff by two, also some of the pomegranates, and of the figs.Select Numbers 13:23

24That place hath one called Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from thence.Select Numbers 13:24

25And they turn back from spying the land at the end of forty days.Select Numbers 13:25

26And they go and come in unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company of the sons of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the company back word, and shew them the fruit of the land.Select Numbers 13:26

27And they recount to him, and say, `We came in unto the land whither thou hast sent us, and also it is flowing with milk and honey--and this is its fruit;Select Numbers 13:27

28only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land is strong; and the cities are fenced, very great; and also children of Anak we have seen there.Select Numbers 13:28

29Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite is dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.'Select Numbers 13:29

30And Caleb stilleth the people concerning Moses, and saith, `Let us certainly go up--and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able for it.'Select Numbers 13:30

31And the men who have gone up with him said, `We are not able to go up against the people, for it is stronger than we;'Select Numbers 13:31

32and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied unto the sons of Israel, saying, `The land into which we passed over to spy it, is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst are men of stature;Select Numbers 13:32

33and there we saw the Nephilim, sons of Anak, of the Nephilim; and we are in our own eyes as grasshoppers; and so we were in their eyes.'Select Numbers 13:33
