Números 13
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Misión de los doce espías(A)
13 El Señor habló con Moisés, y le dijo:
2 «Envía algunos hombres para que exploren la tierra de Canaán, la cual voy a dar a los hijos de Israel. De cada tribu de sus antepasados enviarán uno de sus hombres más importantes.»
3 Desde el desierto de Parán, Moisés envió a todos aquellos hombres, conforme a la palabra del Señor. Todos ellos eran gente de importancia entre los hijos de Israel. 4 Éstos son sus nombres:
De la tribu de Rubén, Samúa hijo de Zacur.
5 De la tribu de Simeón, Safat hijo de Jorí.
6 De la tribu de Judá, Caleb hijo de Yefune.
7 De la tribu de Isacar, Igal hijo de José.
8 De la tribu de Efraín, Oseas hijo de Nun.
9 De la tribu de Benjamín, Palti hijo de Rafú.
10 De la tribu de Zabulón, Gadiel hijo de Sodi.
11 De la tribu de José: Gadi hijo de Susi, de la tribu de Manasés.
12 De la tribu de Dan, Amiel hijo de Gemali.
13 De la tribu de Aser, Setur hijo de Micael.
14 De la tribu de Neftalí, Najebí hijo de Vapsi.
15 De la tribu de Gad, Geuel hijo de Maqui.
16 Éstos son los nombres de los hombres que Moisés envió a explorar la tierra. A Oseas hijo de Nun, Moisés le puso por nombre Josué.
17 Al enviarlos a explorar la tierra de Canaán, Moisés les dijo:
«Vayan de aquí al Néguev, suban al monte 18 y observen cómo es la tierra, y si el pueblo que la habita es fuerte o débil, y si son pocos o muchos; 19 fíjense si la tierra habitada es buena o mala, y en cómo son las ciudades habitadas, si son campamentos o plazas fortificadas; 20 fíjense si el terreno es fértil o estéril, y si hay árboles o no. ¡Ármense de valor, y traigan algunos frutos del país!»
Era entonces el tiempo de las primeras uvas, 21 y ellos fueron y exploraron el terreno desde el desierto de Zin hasta Rejob, entrando por Jamat. 22 Luego se dirigieron al Néguev y llegaron hasta Hebrón, que es donde vivían Ajimán, Sesay y Talmay, los hijos de Anac. (Hebrón había sido edificada siete años antes de Soán, en Egipto.) 23 Llegaron hasta el arroyo de Escol, y allí cortaron un sarmiento con un racimo de uvas, el cual llevaron entre dos en un palo, y granadas e higos. 24 Como allí los hijos de Israel cortaron ese racimo de uvas, aquel lugar fue llamado Valle de Escol.[a]
25 Después de explorar la tierra, volvieron al cabo de cuarenta días. 26 Al volver a Cades, en el desierto de Parán, se presentaron ante Moisés y Aarón y toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, y les dieron la información y les mostraron los frutos de la tierra. 27 También les dijeron:
«Nosotros llegamos a la tierra a la cual nos enviaste. Ésta ciertamente fluye leche y miel, y aquí tienes sus frutos. 28 Pero la gente que habita esa tierra es fuerte, y las ciudades son muy grandes y fortificadas; además, allí vimos a los hijos de Anac. 29 Los amalecitas habitan en el Néguev, los hititas, jebuseos y amorreos habitan en el monte, y los cananeos habitan junto al mar y en la ribera del Jordán.»
30 Caleb pidió al pueblo que se callara delante de Moisés, y dijo:
«Subamos, pues, y tomemos posesión de esa tierra, porque nosotros podremos más que ellos.»
31 Pero los que habían ido con él dijeron:
«No podemos atacar a ese pueblo, porque ellos son más fuertes que nosotros.»
32 Además, entre los hijos de Israel hablaron mal de la tierra que habían explorado, y hasta dijeron:
«La tierra que recorrimos para explorarla se traga a sus habitantes. Toda la gente que allí vimos son hombres de gran estatura. 33 Allí vimos también gigantes.(B) Son los hijos de Anac, esa raza de gigantes. Ante ellos, a nosotros nos parecía que éramos como langostas; y a ellos también así les parecíamos.»

Numbers 13
King James Version
13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
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.
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:
18 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
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;
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.
21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
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.)
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.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
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 shewed them the fruit of the land.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Spies Sent into Canaan(A)
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 (B)“Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.”
3 So Moses sent them (C)from the Wilderness of Paran according to the command of the Lord, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. 4 Now these were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur; 5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori; 6 (D)from the tribe of Judah, (E)Caleb the son of Jephunneh; 7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph; 8 from the tribe of Ephraim, [a]Hoshea the son of Nun; 9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu; 10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi; 11 from the tribe of Joseph, that is, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi; 12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli; 13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael; 14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi; 15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to [b]spy out the land. And Moses called (F)Hoshea[c] the son of Nun, Joshua.
17 Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way into the South, and go up to (G)the mountains, 18 and see what the land is like: whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many; 19 whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds; 20 whether the land is [d]rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. (H)Be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.
21 So they went up and spied out the land (I)from the Wilderness of Zin as far as (J)Rehob, near the entrance of (K)Hamath. 22 And they went up through the South and came to (L)Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of (M)Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 (N)Then they came to the [e]Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. 24 The place was called the Valley of [f]Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there. 25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.
26 Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at (O)Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly [g]flows with (P)milk and honey, (Q)and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the (R)people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of (S)Anak there. 29 (T)The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.”
30 Then (U)Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
31 (V)But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they (W)gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and (X)all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the [h]giants ((Y)the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were (Z)like[i] grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were (AA)in their sight.”

打探迦南
13 耶和華對摩西說： 2 「你要派十二位首領，每個支派一位，去打探我要賜給以色列人的迦南。」 3 摩西就按耶和華的吩咐，從巴蘭曠野派出了十二位首領。 4 他們的名字如下：呂便支派撒刻的兒子沙姆亞， 5 西緬支派何利的兒子沙法， 6 猶大支派耶孚尼的兒子迦勒， 7 以薩迦支派約色的兒子以迦， 8 以法蓮支派嫩的兒子何西阿， 9 便雅憫支派拉孚的兒子帕提， 10 西布倫支派梭底的兒子迦疊， 11 約瑟的子孫、瑪拿西支派穌西的兒子迦底， 12 但支派基瑪利的兒子亞米利， 13 亞設支派米迦勒的兒子西帖， 14 拿弗他利支派縛西的兒子拿比， 15 迦得支派瑪基的兒子臼利。 16 以上是摩西派去打探迦南的人，他稱嫩的兒子何西阿為約書亞。
17 摩西派他們去打探迦南，並囑咐說：「你們先去南地，然後再進山區， 18 打探那地方，看看那裡的居民是強是弱，是多是少； 19 那地方是好是壞，人們住的是堅固的城池還是不設防的營地； 20 土地是肥沃還是貧瘠，有沒有樹木。儘量帶些當地的果子回來。」當時是葡萄初熟的季節。
21 於是，他們從荀曠野一直打探到哈馬口附近的利合。 22 他們經南地到達希伯崙。希伯崙城比埃及的鎖安城還要早建七年，那裡住著亞衲人的子孫亞希幔、示篩和撻買。 23 他們來到以實各谷，在那裡砍下一根葡萄枝，上面有一串葡萄，由兩個人用杠子抬著，又採了一些石榴和無花果。 24 因為他們在那裡砍了一串葡萄，所以就稱那地方為以實各[a]谷。
25 過了四十天，他們打探完畢，返回營地。 26 他們來到巴蘭曠野的加低斯向摩西、亞倫和以色列全體會眾彙報，把當地的果子給大家看。 27 他們對摩西說：「我們照你的指示打探了那地方，果然是奶蜜之鄉，這些都是那裡的果子。 28 但那裡的居民很強悍，城邑又大又堅固。我們在那裡還見到亞衲人的子孫。 29 亞瑪力人住在南地，赫人、耶布斯人和亞摩利人住在山區，迦南人住在海邊和約旦河沿岸。」 30 迦勒讓站在摩西面前的民眾安靜，然後說：「我們立刻去佔領那地方吧！我們必能取勝。」 31 跟他一起去打探的人卻說：「我們不能去攻打那些人，他們比我們強大。」 32 他們還危言聳聽，說：「我們去打探的地方是吞吃居民之地，我們看見的人個個身材高大。 33 我們在那裡看見了亞衲人的子孫，他們是巨人的後裔，我們跟他們相比就像蚱蜢，他們看我們也像蚱蜢。」
