Twelve Scouts Explore Canaan
13 The Lord now said to Moses, 2 “Send out men to explore the land of Canaan, the land I am giving to the Israelites. Send one leader from each of the twelve ancestral tribes.” 3 So Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He sent out twelve men, all tribal leaders of Israel, from their camp in the wilderness of Paran. 4 These were the tribes and the names of their leaders:
Tribe | Leader |
---|---|
Reuben | Shammua son of Zaccur |
5 Simeon | Shaphat son of Hori |
6 Judah | Caleb son of Jephunneh |
7 Issachar | Igal son of Joseph |
8 Ephraim | Hoshea son of Nun |
9 Benjamin | Palti son of Raphu |
10 Zebulun | Gaddiel son of Sodi |
11 Manasseh son of Joseph | Gaddi son of Susi |
12 Dan | Ammiel son of Gemalli |
13 Asher | Sethur son of Michael |
14 Naphtali | Nahbi son of Vophsi |
15 Gad | Geuel son of Maki |
16 These are the names of the men Moses sent out to explore the land. (Moses called Hoshea son of Nun by the name Joshua.)
17 Moses gave the men these instructions as he sent them out to explore the land: “Go north through the Negev into the hill country. 18 See what the land is like, and find out whether the people living there are strong or weak, few or many. 19 See what kind of land they live in. Is it good or bad? Do their towns have walls, or are they unprotected like open camps? 20 Is the soil fertile or poor? Are there many trees? Do your best to bring back samples of the crops you see.” (It happened to be the season for harvesting the first ripe grapes.)
