Numbers 13:13-26 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. From the tribe of Ashĕr: Shĕthur, son of Miḵa’ĕl.

14. From the tribe of Naphtali: Naḥbi, son of Wophsi.

15. From the tribe of Gaḏ: Geu’ĕl, son of Maḵi.

16. These are the names of the men whom Mosheh sent to spy out the land. And Mosheh called Hoshĕa the son of Nun, Yehoshua.

17. And Mosheh sent them to spy out the land of Kena‛an, and said to them, “Go up here into the South, and go up to the mountains,

18. and see what the land is like, and the people who dwell in it, whether strong or weak, whether few or many,

19. and whether the land they dwell in is good or evil, whether the cities they inhabit are in camps or strongholds,

20. and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are forests there or not. And you shall be strong, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first-fruits of grapes.

21. So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Tsin as far as Reḥoḇ, near the entrance of Ḥamath.

22. And they went up through the South and came to Ḥeḇron. And Aḥiman, Shĕshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anaq, were there. Now Ḥeḇron had been built seven years before Tso‛an in Mitsrayim.

23. And they came to the wadi Eshkol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes. And they bore it between two of them on a pole, also of the pomegranates and of the figs.

24. That place was called the wadi Eshkol, because of the cluster which the men of Yisra’ĕl cut down from there.

25. And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.

26. And they went and came to Mosheh and Aharon and all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl in the Wilderness of Paran, at Qaḏĕsh. And they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
