Numbers 13:1-24

¹Then afterwarde the people remooued from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wildernesse of Paran.

²And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

³Sende thou men out to search the lande of Canaan which I giue vnto the children of Israel: of euery tribe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, such as are all rulers among them.

⁴Then Moses sent them out of the wildernesse of Paran at the commandement of the Lord: all those men were heades of the children of Israel.

⁵Also their names are these: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the sonne of Zaccur:

⁶Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the sonne of Hori:

⁷Of the tribe of Iudah, Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh:

⁸Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the sonne of Ioseph:

⁹Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the sone of Nun:

¹⁰Of the tribe of Beniamin, Palti the sonne of Raphu:

¹¹Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the sone of Sodi:

¹²Of the tribe of Ioseph, to wit, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the sonne of Susi:

¹³Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the sonne of Gemalli:

¹⁴Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the sonne of Michael:

¹⁵Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the sonne of Vophsi:

¹⁶Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the sonne of Machi.

¹⁷These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spie out the lande: and Moses called ye name of Oshea the sonne of Nun, Iehoshua.

¹⁸So Moses sent them to spie out the lande of Canaan, and said vnto them, Go vp this way toward the South, and go vp into the moutaines,

¹⁹And consider the land what it is, and the people that dwel therein, whether they be strong or weake, either fewe or many,

²⁰Also what the lande is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad: and what cities they be, that they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents, or in walled townes:

²¹And what the land is: whether it be fat or leane, whether there be trees therein, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruite of the lande (for then was the time of the first ripe grapes)

²²So they went vp, and searched out the lande, from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, to go to Hamath,

²³And they ascended toward the South, and came vnto Hebron, where were Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the sonnes of Anak. And Hebron was built seuen yeere before Zoan in Egypt.

²⁴Then they came to the riuer of Eshcol, and cut downe thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it vpon a barre betweene two, and brought of the pomegranates and of the figges.
