1The LORD spoke to Moses: "1וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃
2Send men to scout out the land of Canaan I am giving to the Israelites. Send one man who is a leader among them from each of their ancestral tribes." 2שְׁלַח־ לְךָ֣ אֲנָשִׁ֗ים וְיָתֻ֙רוּ֙ אֶת־ אֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן אֲשֶׁר־ אֲנִ֥י נֹתֵ֖ן לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אִ֣ישׁ אֶחָד֩ אִ֨ישׁ אֶחָ֜ד לְמַטֵּ֤ה אֲבֹתָיו֙ תִּשְׁלָ֔חוּ כֹּ֖ל נָשִׂ֥יא בָהֶֽם׃
3Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran at the LORD's command. All the men were leaders in Israel.3וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח אֹתָ֥ם מֹשֶׁ֛ה מִמִּדְבַּ֥ר פָּארָ֖ן עַל־ פִּ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כֻּלָּ֣ם אֲנָשִׁ֔ים רָאשֵׁ֥י בְנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הֵֽמָּה׃
4These were their names: Shammua son of Zaccur from the tribe of Reuben; 4וְאֵ֖לֶּה שְׁמוֹתָ֑ם לְמַטֵּ֣ה רְאוּבֵ֔ן שַׁמּ֖וּעַ בֶּן־ זַכּֽוּר׃
5Shaphat son of Hori from the tribe of Simeon; 5לְמַטֵּ֣ה שִׁמְע֔וֹן שָׁפָ֖ט בֶּן־ חוֹרִֽי׃
6Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah; 6לְמַטֵּ֣ה יְהוּדָ֔ה כָּלֵ֖ב בֶּן־ יְפֻנֶּֽה׃
7Igal son of Joseph from the tribe of Issachar; 7לְמַטֵּ֣ה יִשָּׂשכָ֔ר יִגְאָ֖ל בֶּן־ יוֹסֵֽף׃
8Hoshea son of Nun from the tribe of Ephraim; 8לְמַטֵּ֥ה אֶפְרָ֖יִם הוֹשֵׁ֥עַ בִּן־ נֽוּן׃
9Palti son of Raphu from the tribe of Benjamin; 9לְמַטֵּ֣ה בִנְיָמִ֔ן פַּלְטִ֖י בֶּן־ רָפֽוּא׃
10Gaddiel son of Sodi from the tribe of Zebulun; 10לְמַטֵּ֣ה זְבוּלֻ֔ן גַּדִּיאֵ֖ל בֶּן־ סוֹדִֽי׃
11Gaddi son of Susi from the tribe of Manasseh (from the tribe of Joseph); 11לְמַטֵּ֥ה יוֹסֵ֖ף לְמַטֵּ֣ה מְנַשֶּׁ֑ה גַּדִּ֖י בֶּן־ סוּסִֽי׃
12Ammiel son of Gemalli from the tribe of Dan; 12לְמַטֵּ֣ה דָ֔ן עַמִּיאֵ֖ל בֶּן־ גְּמַלִּֽי׃
13Sethur son of Michael from the tribe of Asher; 13לְמַטֵּ֣ה אָשֵׁ֔ר סְת֖וּר בֶּן־ מִיכָאֵֽל׃
14Nahbi son of Vophsi from the tribe of Naphtali; 14לְמַטֵּ֣ה נַפְתָּלִ֔י נַחְבִּ֖י בֶּן־ וָפְסִֽי׃
15Geuel son of Machi from the tribe of Gad. 15לְמַטֵּ֣ה גָ֔ד גְּאוּאֵ֖ל בֶּן־ מָכִֽי׃
16These were the names of the men Moses sent to scout out the land, and Moses renamed Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua. 16אֵ֚לֶּה שְׁמ֣וֹת הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־ שָׁלַ֥ח מֹשֶׁ֖ה לָת֣וּר אֶת־ הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּקְרָ֥א מֹשֶׁ֛ה לְהוֹשֵׁ֥עַ בִּן־ נ֖וּן יְהוֹשֻֽׁעַ׃
17When Moses sent them to scout out the land of Canaan, he told them, "Go up this way to the Negev, then go up into the hill country. 17וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח אֹתָם֙ מֹשֶׁ֔ה לָת֖וּר אֶת־ אֶ֣רֶץ כְּנָ֑עַן וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם עֲל֥וּ זֶה֙ בַּנֶּ֔גֶב וַעֲלִיתֶ֖ם אֶת־ הָהָֽר׃
18See what the land is like, and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many. 18וּרְאִיתֶ֥ם אֶת־ הָאָ֖רֶץ מַה־ הִ֑וא וְאֶת־ הָעָם֙ הַיֹּשֵׁ֣ב עָלֶ֔יהָ הֶחָזָ֥ק הוּא֙ הֲרָפֶ֔ה הַמְעַ֥ט ה֖וּא אִם־ רָֽב׃
19Is the land they live in good or bad? Are the cities they live in encampments or fortifications?19וּמָ֣ה הָאָ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־ הוּא֙ יֹשֵׁ֣ב בָּ֔הּ הֲטוֹבָ֥ה הִ֖וא אִם־ רָעָ֑ה וּמָ֣ה הֶֽעָרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁר־ הוּא֙ יוֹשֵׁ֣ב בָּהֵ֔נָּה הַבְּמַֽחֲנִ֖ים אִ֥ם בְּמִבְצָרִֽים׃
20Is the land fertile or unproductive? Are there trees in it or not? Be courageous. Bring back some fruit from the land." It was the season for the first ripe grapes. 20וּמָ֣ה הָ֠אָרֶץ הַשְּׁמֵנָ֨ה הִ֜וא אִם־ רָזָ֗ה הֲיֵֽשׁ־ בָּ֥הּ עֵץ֙ אִם־ אַ֔יִן וְהִ֨תְחַזַּקְתֶּ֔ם וּלְקַחְתֶּ֖ם מִפְּרִ֣י הָאָ֑רֶץ וְהַ֨יָּמִ֔ים יְמֵ֖י בִּכּוּרֵ֥י עֲנָבִֽים׃
21So they went up and scouted out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob near the entrance to Hamath.21וַֽיַּעֲל֖וּ וַיָּתֻ֣רוּ אֶת־ הָאָ֑רֶץ מִמִּדְבַּר־ צִ֥ן עַד־ רְחֹ֖ב לְבֹ֥א חֲמָֽת׃
22They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were living. Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt. 22וַיַּעֲל֣וּ בַנֶּגֶב֮ וַיָּבֹ֣א עַד־ חֶבְרוֹן֒ וְשָׁ֤ם אֲחִימַן֙ שֵׁשַׁ֣י וְתַלְמַ֔י יְלִידֵ֖י הָעֲנָ֑ק וְחֶבְר֗וֹן שֶׁ֤בַע שָׁנִים֙ נִבְנְתָ֔ה לִפְנֵ֖י צֹ֥עַן מִצְרָֽיִם׃
23When they came to the Valley of Eshcol, they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes, which was carried on a pole by two men. They also took some pomegranates and figs.23וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ עַד־ נַ֣חַל אֶשְׁכֹּ֗ל וַיִּכְרְת֨וּ מִשָּׁ֤ם זְמוֹרָה֙ וְאֶשְׁכּ֤וֹל עֲנָבִים֙ אֶחָ֔ד וַיִּשָּׂאֻ֥הוּ בַמּ֖וֹט בִּשְׁנָ֑יִם וּמִן־ הָרִמֹּנִ֖ים וּמִן־ הַתְּאֵנִֽים׃
24That place was called the Valley of Eshcol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut there. 24לַמָּק֣וֹם הַה֔וּא קָרָ֖א נַ֣חַל אֶשְׁכּ֑וֹל עַ֚ל אֹד֣וֹת הָֽאֶשְׁכּ֔וֹל אֲשֶׁר־ כָּרְת֥וּ מִשָּׁ֖ם בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
25At the end of 40 days they returned from scouting out the land. 25וַיָּשֻׁ֖בוּ מִתּ֣וּר הָאָ֑רֶץ מִקֵּ֖ץ אַרְבָּעִ֥ים יֽוֹם׃
26The men went back to Moses, Aaron, and the entire Israelite community in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back a report for them and the whole community, and they showed them the fruit of the land.26וַיֵּלְכ֡וּ וַיָּבֹאוּ֩ אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֨ה וְאֶֽל־ אַהֲרֹ֜ן וְאֶל־ כָּל־ עֲדַ֧ת בְּנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶל־ מִדְבַּ֥ר פָּארָ֖ן קָדֵ֑שָׁה וַיָּשִׁ֨יבוּ אוֹתָ֤ם דָּבָר֙ וְאֶת־ כָּל־ הָ֣עֵדָ֔ה וַיַּרְא֖וּם אֶת־ פְּרִ֥י הָאָֽרֶץ׃
27They reported to Moses: "We went into the land where you sent us. Indeed it is flowing with milk and honey, and here is some of its fruit. 27וַיְסַפְּרוּ־ לוֹ֙ וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ בָּ֕אנוּ אֶל־ הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר שְׁלַחְתָּ֑נוּ וְ֠גַם זָבַ֨ת חָלָ֥ב וּדְבַ֛שׁ הִ֖וא וְזֶה־ פִּרְיָֽהּ׃
28However, the people living in the land are strong, and the cities are large and fortified. We also saw the descendants of Anak there. 28אֶ֚פֶס כִּֽי־ עַ֣ז הָעָ֔ם הַיֹּשֵׁ֖ב בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְהֶֽעָרִ֗ים בְּצֻר֤וֹת גְּדֹלֹת֙ מְאֹ֔ד וְגַם־ יְלִדֵ֥י הָֽעֲנָ֖ק רָאִ֥ינוּ שָֽׁם׃
29The Amalekites are living in the land of the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan." 29עֲמָלֵ֥ק יוֹשֵׁ֖ב בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַנֶּ֑גֶב וְ֠הַֽחִתִּי וְהַיְבוּסִ֤י וְהָֽאֱמֹרִי֙ יוֹשֵׁ֣ב בָּהָ֔ר וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙ יֹשֵׁ֣ב עַל־ הַיָּ֔ם וְעַ֖ל יַ֥ד הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃
30Then Caleb quieted the people in the presence of Moses and said, "We must go up and take possession of the land because we can certainly conquer it!" 30וַיַּ֧הַס כָּלֵ֛ב אֶת־ הָעָ֖ם אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֑ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר עָלֹ֤ה נַעֲלֶה֙ וְיָרַ֣שְׁנוּ אֹתָ֔הּ כִּֽי־ יָכ֥וֹל נוּכַ֖ל לָֽהּ׃
31But the men who had gone up with him responded, "We can't go up against the people because they are stronger than we are!"31וְהָ֨אֲנָשִׁ֜ים אֲשֶׁר־ עָל֤וּ עִמּוֹ֙ אָֽמְר֔וּ לֹ֥א נוּכַ֖ל לַעֲל֣וֹת אֶל־ הָעָ֑ם כִּֽי־ חָזָ֥ק ה֖וּא מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
32So they gave a negative report to the Israelites about the land they had scouted: "The land we passed through to explore is one that devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw in it are men of great size. 32וַיּוֹצִ֜יאוּ דִּבַּ֤ת הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תָּר֣וּ אֹתָ֔הּ אֶל־ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר הָאָ֡רֶץ אֲשֶׁר֩ עָבַ֨רְנוּ בָ֜הּ לָת֣וּר אֹתָ֗הּ אֶ֣רֶץ אֹכֶ֤לֶת יוֹשְׁבֶ֙יהָ֙ הִ֔וא וְכָל־ הָעָ֛ם אֲשֶׁר־ רָאִ֥ינוּ בְתוֹכָ֖הּ אַנְשֵׁ֥י מִדּֽוֹת׃
33We even saw the Nephilim there--the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim! To ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and we must have seemed the same to them." 33וְשָׁ֣ם רָאִ֗ינוּ אֶת־ הַנְּפִילִ֛ים בְּנֵ֥י עֲנָ֖ק מִן־ הַנְּפִלִ֑ים וַנְּהִ֤י בְעֵינֵ֙ינוּ֙ כַּֽחֲגָבִ֔ים וְכֵ֥ן הָיִ֖ינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃
