The Book of Numbers 13

13 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Send for you men, and they shall explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel. One man, one man to the tribe of his fathers you shall send, every one a leader among them.” 3 And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran upon the mouth of Yahweh. All of them were men; they were heads of the sons of Israel. 4 And these were their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, the son of Zaccur; 5 for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, the son of Hori; 6 for the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh; 7 for the tribe of Issachar, Igal, the son of Joseph; 8 for the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea, the son of Nun; 9 for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti, the son of Raphu; 10 for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, the son of Sodi; 11 for the tribe of Joseph, for the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi, the son of Susi; 12 for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, the son of Gemalli; 13 for the tribe of Asher, Sethur, the son of Michael; 14 for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, the son of Vophsi; 15 for the tribe of Gad, Geuel, the son of Maki. 16 These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to explore the land; and Moses called Hoshea, the son of Nun, Joshua. 17 And Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan, and he said to them, “Go up this in the Negev, and you shall go up the hill country. 18 And you shall see the land, what it is; and the people dwelling upon it, whether it is strong or weak, whether it is few or many; 19 and what is the land in which it is dwelling, whether it is good or evil; and what are the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses; 20 and what is the land, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it or not, and you shall strengthen yourselves, and you shall take from the fruit of the land.” (And the days were the days of the firstfruits of the grapes.) 21 And they went up, and they explored the land from the wilderness of Zin up to Rehob, Lebo Hamath. 22 And they went up in the Negev, and they came as far as Hebron. And there were Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, those born of the Anak. (And Hebron was built seven years to the face of Zoan, Egypt.) 23 And they came as far as Wadi Eshkol, and they cut from there a branch and one cluster of grapes, and they carried it on the carrying pole with two, and from the pomegranates and from the figs. 24 He called that place Wadi Eshkol on account of the cluster that the sons of Israel cut from there. 25 And they returned from exploring the land at the end of 40 days, 26 and they went and they came to Moses and to Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. And they returned them and all the congregation a word, and they showed them the fruit of the land, 27 and they recounted to him, and they said, “We went to the land where you sent us, and indeed it is flowing with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 However, the people dwelling in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified very great, and also we saw those born of the Anak there. 29 Amalek is dwelling in the land of the Negev, and the Hittite and the Jebusite and the Amorite is dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling upon the sea and upon the hand of the Jordan.” 30 And Caleb hushed the people to Moses, and he said, “Going up, we will go up, and we will possess it, for being able, we are able against it.” 31 But the men who went up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for it is stronger than us.” 32 And they brought out a bad report of the land that they explored to the sons of Israel, saying, “The land through which we passed to explore it, it is a land eating the ones dwelling in it. And all the people whom we saw in the midst of it were men of size, 33 and there we saw the Nephils (the sons of Anak are from the Nephils), and we were in our eyes like the grasshoppers, and thus we were in their eyes.”
