¹⁷ And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country:

¹⁸ and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;

¹⁹ and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;

²⁰ and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is 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 first-ripe grapes.

²¹ So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.

²² And they went up by the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

²³ And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it upon a staff between two; they brought also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

²⁴ That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

¹⁹ And 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.

²⁰ And 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.

²¹ And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Æmath.

²² And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there was Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of Egypt.

²³ And 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 staves, and they took of the pomegranates and the figs.

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

¹⁹ 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 strong holds;

²⁰ 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.

²¹ So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

²² And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

²³ And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

²⁰ And 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.

²¹ And what the land is, whether rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and you° shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days were the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.

²² And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.

²³ And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there was Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of Egypt.

²⁴ And 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 staves, and they took of the pomegranates and the figs.

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

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

¹⁵ and Geuel, the son of Maki, from the tribe of Gad.

¹⁶ Those are the names of the men whom Moses/I sent out to explore Canaan. Before they left, Moses/I gave Hoshea a new name, Joshua, which means ' Yahweh is the one who saves.'

¹⁷ Before Moses/I sent them to explore Canaan, he/I said to them, “Go through the southern part of Canaan, and then go north into the hilly area.

¹⁸ See what the land is like. See if the people who live there are strong or weak. See if there are many people or only a few people.

¹⁹ Find out what kind of land they live in RHQ. Is it good or bad? Find out about the towns in which they live RHQ. Do they have walls around them or not?

²⁰ Find out about the soil RHQ. Is it ◄fertile/good for growing crops► or not? Find out if there are trees there RHQ. Try to bring back some of the fruit that grows in that land.” He said that because it was the beginning of the time to harvest grapes.

²¹ So those men went to Canaan. They went through the entire land, from the Zin wilderness in the south all the way to Rehob town near Lebo-Hamath in the north.

²² In the south, they went to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, huge men descended from Anak, lived. Hebron was a city that was built seven years before Zoan city was built in Egypt.

²³ In one valley, they cut from a grapevine one cluster of grapes. Because it was very large, they needed two men to carry it on a pole. They also picked some pomegranates and some figs to carry back to their camp.

²⁴ They called that place Eshcol which means ❛cluster❜ because they had cut that huge cluster of grapes there.

²⁵ After they explored the land for forty days, they returned to their camp.

¹⁹ and you° 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.

²⁰ And 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.

²¹ And what the land is, whether rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and you° shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days were the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.

²² And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.

²³ And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there was Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of Egypt.

²⁴ And 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 staves, and they took of the pomegranates and the figs.

²⁵ And they called that place, The valley of the cluster, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

²⁰ and what the land is, whether it is fertile or poor, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.

¹⁶ These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.

¹⁷ So Moses sent them to have a look at the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up into the South and into the hill-country;

¹⁸ And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;

¹⁹ And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their living-places are, tent-circles or walled towns;

²⁰ And if the land is fertile or poor, and if there is wood in it or not. And be of good heart, and come back with some of the produce of the land. Now it was the time when the first grapes were ready.

²¹ So they went up and got a view of the land, from the waste land of Zin to Rehob, on the way to Hamath.

²² They went up into the South and came to Hebron; and Ahiman and Sheshai and Talmai, the children of Anak, were living there. (Now the building of Hebron took place seven years before that of Zoan in Egypt.)

²³ And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some pomegranates and figs.

²⁴ That place was named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.

²⁵ At the end of forty days they came back from viewing the land.

¹⁸ and ye shall see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;

¹⁹ and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;

²⁰ and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it, or not. And take courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first grapes.

²¹ And they went up, and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath.

²² And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.

²³ And they came as far as the valley of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a pole; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

²⁴ That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the grapes which the children of Israel had cut down there.

¹⁷ These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to view the land: and he called Osee the son of Nun, Josue.

¹⁸ And Moses sent them to view the land of Chanaan, and said to them: Go you up by the south side. And when you shall come to the mountains,

¹⁹ View the land, of what sort it is: and the people that are the inhabitants thereof, whether they be strong or weak: few in number or many:

²⁰ The land itself, whether it be good or bad: what manner of cities, walled or without walls:

²¹ The ground, fat or barren, woody or without trees. Be of good courage, and bring us of the fruits of the land. Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes are fit to be eaten.

²² And when they were gone up, they viewed the land from the desert of Sin, unto Rohob as you enter into Emath.

²³ And they went up at the south side, and came to Hebron, where were Achiman and Sisai and Tholmai the sons of Enac. For Hebron was built seven years before Tanis the city of Egypt.

²⁴ And going forward as far as the torrent of the cluster of grapes, they cut off a branch with its cluster of grapes, which two men carried upon a lever. They took also of the pomegranates and of the figs of that place:

²⁵ Which was called Nehelescol, that is to say, the torrent of the cluster of grapes, because from thence the children of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes.

⁹ Palti son of Raphu, from the tribe of Benjamin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁸ See 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?

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

²⁰ Is 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.)

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

²² They 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.

²³ When they arrived at the Valley of Eshcol they chopped down a branch that had just one bunch of grapes. They had to carry it on a pole held between two men. They also collected some pomegranates and figs.

²⁴ (The place was named the Valley of Eshcol because of the bunch of grapes they took from there.)

²⁵ Forty days later the men returned from exploring the country.

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁷ These 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.

¹⁸ So 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,

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

²⁰ Also 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:

²¹ And 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)

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

¹⁷ And 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,

¹⁸ and 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;

¹⁹ and 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;

²⁰ And 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.

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

²² and 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),

²³ and 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.

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

²⁵ And they turn back from spying the land at the end of forty days.
