⁴And these are their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

⁵Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.

⁶Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

⁷Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.

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

¹⁶These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.

¹⁷And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up by this wilderness; and ye shall go up to the mountain,

¹⁸and ye shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or whether they are few or many.

¹⁹And what the land is on which they dwell, whether it is good or bad; and what the cities are wherein these dwell, whether they dwell in walled cities or unwalled.

²⁰And what the land is, whether rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and ye shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days were the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.

²¹And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men go in to Hamath.

²²And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Hebron; and there was Ahiman, and Sheshai, and Talmai, the progeny of Anak. Now Hebron was built seven years before Tanis of Egypt.

²³And they came to the Valley of the Cluster and surveyed it; and they cut down thence a bough and one cluster of grapes upon it, and bore it on staffs, and they took of the pomegranates and the figs.

²⁴And they called that place, The Valley of the Cluster, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

²⁵And they returned from thence, having surveyed the land, after forty days.

²⁶And they proceeded and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran Kadesh; and they brought word to them and to all the congregation, and they showed the fruit of the land:

²⁷and they reported to him, and said, We came into the land into which thou sentest us, a land flowing with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

²⁸Only the nation that dwells upon it is bold, and they have very great and strong walled towns, and we saw there the children of Anak.

²⁹And Amalek dwells in the land toward the south: and the Hittite and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwells in the hill country: and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and by the river Jordan.
