Numbers 13:10-22

¹⁰Gaddiel, son of Sodi, from the tribe of Zebulun.

¹¹Gaddi, son of Susi, from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph).

¹²Ammiel, son of Gemalli, from the tribe of Dan.

¹³Sethur, son of Michael, from the tribe of Asher.

¹⁴Nahbi, son of Vophsi, from the tribe of Naphtali.

¹⁵Geuel, son of Machi, from the tribe of Gad.

¹⁶These were the names of the men that Moses sent to explore the country. Moses called Hoshea Joshua.

¹⁷Moses sent them out to explore the land of Canaan, telling them, “Go through the Negev and on into the hill country.

¹⁸See what the place looks like, and find out about the people living there—are they strong or weak? Are there many of them or only a few?

¹⁹Is the land where they're living good or bad? Are their towns like open camps, or do they have defensive walls?

²⁰Is the soil productive or not? Is it forested? Be brave, and bring back some of the country's fruit.” (It was the beginning of the grape harvest.)

²¹So the men went and explored the land all the way from the Desert of Zin to Rehob, bear Lebo-hamath.

²²They went through the Negev and arrived in Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived. This town was built seven years before the Egyptian town of Zoan.
