13:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 13:2  Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan,
which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of
their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among
them.
 13:3  And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from
the wilderness of Paran: all those men [were] heads of the
children of Israel.
 13:4  And these [were] their names: of the tribe of Reuben,
Shammua the son of Zaccur.
 13:5  Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
 13:6  Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
 13:7  Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
 13:8  Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
 13:9  Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
 13:10  Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
 13:11  Of the tribe of Joseph, [namely], of the tribe of
Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
 13:12  Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
 13:13  Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
 13:14  Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
 13:15  Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
 13:16  These [are] the names of the men which Moses sent to
spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun
Jehoshua.
 13:17  And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and
said unto them, Get you up this [way] southward, and go up into
the mountain:
 13:18  And see the land, what it [is]; and the people that
dwelleth therein, whether they [be] strong or weak, few or
many;
 13:19  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;
 13:20  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.
 13:21  So they went up, and searched the land from the
wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
 13:22  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.)
 13:23  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.
 13:24  The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the
cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from
thence.
 13:25  And they returned from searching of the land after
forty days.
 13:26  And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to
all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the
wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto
them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit
of the land.
 13:27  And they told him, and said, We came unto the land
whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and
honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.
 13:28  Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the
land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and
moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
 13:29  The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the
Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the
mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the
coast of Jordan.
 13:30  And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said,
Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to
overcome it.
 13:31  But the men that went up with him said, We be not able
to go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we.
 13:32  And they brought up an evil report of the land which
they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The
land, through which we have gone to search it, [is] a land that
eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we
saw in it [are] men of a great stature.
 13:33  And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which
come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as
grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
