3

So Mosesh4872 senth7971 them from the wildernessh4057b of Paranh6290 at the  1commandh6310 of the LORDh3068, allh3605 of them menh376 who were headsh7218 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478.

4

Theseh428 then were their namesh8034: from the tribeh4294 of Reubenh7205, Shammuah8051 the sonh1121 of Zaccurh2139;

10

15

from the tribeh4294 of Gadh1410, Geuelh1345 the sonh1121 of Machih4352.

16

Theseh428 are the namesh8034 of the menh376 whomh834 Mosesh4872 senth7971 to spyh8446 out the landh776; but Mosesh4872 calledh7121  aHosheah1954 the sonh1121 of Nunh5126, Joshuah3091.

17

When Mosesh4872 senth7971 them to spyh8446 out the landh776 of Canaanh3667a, he saidh559 to them, "Goh5927 up  1thereh2088 into  athe  2Negevh5045; then goh5927 up into the hillh2022 countryh2022.

18

"Seeh7200 whath4100 the landh776 is like, and whether the peopleh5971a who liveh3427 in it are strongh2389 or weakh7504b, whether they are fewh4592 orh518 manyh7227a.

19

"Howh4100 is the landh776 in whichh834 they liveh3427, is it goodh2896a orh518 badh7451a? And howh4100 are the citiesh5892b in whichh834h1992a they liveh3427, are they  1like open campsh4264 orh518 with fortificationsh4013?

20

aHowh4100 is the landh776, is it fath8082a orh518 leanh7330? Are thereh3426 treesh6086 in it orh518 not?  1Makeh2388 an  befforth2388 then to geth3947 someh4480 of the fruith6529 of the landh776." Now the timeh3117 was the timeh3117 of the firsth1061 ripeh1061 grapesh6025.

21

So they wenth5927 up and spiedh8446 out the landh776 from  athe wildernessh4057b of Zinh6790 as farh5704 as Rehobh7340,  1 bat Lebo-hamathh935.

22

When they had goneh5927 up into  athe Negevh5045,  1they cameh935 to Hebronh2275a whereh8033  bAhimanh289, Sheshaih8344 and Talmaih8526, the  2descendantsh3211 of  cAnakh6061 were. (Now Hebronh2275a was builth1129 sevenh7651 yearsh8141 beforeh6440  dZoanh6814 in Egypth4714.)

23

Then they cameh935 to the  1valleyh5158a of  2 aEshcolh812 and from thereh8033 cuth3772 downh3772 a branchh2156 with a singleh259 clusterh811 of grapesh6025; and they carriedh5375 it on a poleh4132 between twoh8147 men, with someh4480 of the pomegranatesh7416 and the figsh8384.

24

That placeh4725 was calledh7121 the valleyh5158a of  1Eshcolh812, becauseh5921h182 of the clusterh811 whichh834 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 cuth3772 downh3772 from thereh8033.

The Spies' Reports

25

When they returnedh7725 from spyingh8446 out the landh776, at the endh7093 of fortyh705 daysh3117,

26

they proceededh1980 to comeh935 to Mosesh4872 and Aaronh175 and to allh3605 the congregationh5712 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478  1in the wildernessh4057b of Paranh6290, at  aKadeshh6946; and they broughth7725 backh7725 wordh1697 to them and to allh3605 the congregationh5712 and showedh7200 them the fruith6529 of the landh776.

27

Thus they toldh5608 him, and saidh559, "We wenth935 in to the landh776 whereh834 you senth7971 us; and  ait certainlyh1571 does flowh2100 with milkh2461 and honeyh1706, and  bthish2088 is its fruith6529.

28

"Neverthelessh657h3588,  athe peopleh5971a who liveh3427 in the landh776 are strongh5794, and the citiesh5892b are fortifiedh1219 and veryh3966 largeh1419; and moreoverh1571, we sawh7200  bthe  1descendantsh3211 of Anakh6061 thereh8033.

29

"Amalekh6002 is livingh3427 in the landh776 of  athe Negevh5045 and the Hittitesh2850 and the Jebusitesh2983 and  bthe Amoritesh567 are livingh3427 in the hillh2022 countryh2022, and  cthe Canaanitesh3669a are livingh3427 by the seah3220 and by the sideh3027 of the Jordanh3383."

30

Then Calebh3612 quietedh2013 the peopleh5971a  1beforeh413 Mosesh4872 and saidh559, "We should by allh5927 meansh5927 goh5927 up and takeh3423 possessionh3423 of it, for we will surelyh3201 overcomeh3201 it."

31

But the menh376 whoh834 had goneh5927 up with him saidh559, " aWe are not ableh3201 to goh5927 up againsth413 the peopleh5971a, for they are tooh4480 strongh2389 for us."

32

So they gaveh3318 out to the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478  aa badh1681 reporth1681 of the landh776 whichh834 they had spiedh8446 out, sayingh559, "The landh776 throughh5674a whichh834 we have goneh5674a, in spyingh8446 it out, is  ba landh776 that devoursh398 its  1inhabitantsh3427; and  callh3605 the peopleh5971a whomh834 we sawh7200 in it are menh376 of great sizeh4060a.

33

"Thereh8033 also we sawh7200 the  aNephilimh5303 (the sonsh1121 of Anakh6061 are part of the Nephilimh5303); and  bwe becameh1961 like grasshoppersh2284 in our own sighth5869, and soh3651 we were in their sighth5869."
