Numbers 13

 

1 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses) saying:

 

2 Send men, that they may search the land of Humbled One (Canaan), which I give to the children of God Prevails (Israel): of every tribe of their fathers’, you shall send a man, each one a ruler among them.

 

3 Drawn (Moses) by the commandment of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) sent them from the wilderness of The Place of the Caverns (Paran): all those men were heads of the children of God Prevails (Israel).

 

4 These were their names: of the tribe of Behold a Son (Reuben), Renowned (Shammua) the son of Mindful (Zaccur).

 

5 Of the tribe of Heard (Simeon), Judged (Shaphat) the son of Cave Dweller (Hori).

 

6 Of the tribe of Praised (Judah), Dog (Caleb) the son of He Will Face (Jephunneh).

 

7 Of the tribe of Recompense (Issachar), He Redeems (Igal) the son of I AM Will Add (Joseph).

 

8 Of the tribe of Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim), Deliverer (Oshea) the son of Posterity (Nun).

 

9 Of the tribe of Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin), My Deliverance (Palti) the son of Healed (Raphu).

 

10 Of the tribe of Exalted (Zebulun), God is My Fortune (Gaddiel) the son of Acquaintance (Sodi).

 

11 Of the tribe of I AM Will Add (Joseph), namely, of the tribe of Causing to Forget (Manasseh), My Fortune (Gaddi), the son of My Horse (Susi).

 

12 Of the tribe of Judge (Dan), My Kinsman is God (Ammiel) the son of Camel Driver (Gemalli).

 

13 Of the tribe of Happy (Asher), Hidden (Sethur) the son of Who is Like God (Michael).

 

14 Of the tribe of Wrestling (Naphtali), Hidden (Nahbi) the son of Rich (Vophsi).

 

15 Of the tribe of Troop (Gad), Majesty of God (Geuel) the son of Decrease (Machi).

 

16 These are the names of the men which Drawn (Moses) sent to spy out the land. But Drawn (Moses) called Salvation (Oshea) the son of Posterity (Nun) Jehovah is Salvation (Jehoshua).

 

17 Then Drawn (Moses) sent them to spy out the land of Humbled One (Canaan), and said to them: Go up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:

 

18 See the land, what it is, and the people that dwell 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 dwell in, whether in tents or in strongholds;

 

20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. Be of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.

 

21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Flat (Zin) to Broad Place (Rehob), as men come to Fortress (Hamath).

 

22 They ascended by the south and came to Association (Hebron); where My Brother is a Gift (Ahiman), Noble (Sheshai), and Furrowed (Talmai), the children of Neck (Anak, one of the giants), were. [Now Association (Hebron) was built seven years before Place of Departure (Zoan) in Double Straights (Egypt).]

 

23 When they came to the Brook of Cluster (Eshcol), and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two men on a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

 

24 That place was called the Brook of Cluster (Eshcol), because of the cluster of grapes which the children of God Prevails (Israel) cut down there.

 

25 So they returned from searching the land after forty days.

 

26 They came to Drawn (Moses), and to Light Bringer (Aaron), and to all the congregation of the children of God Prevails (Israel), to the wilderness of The Place of the Caverns (Paran); and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

 

27 They said: We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey. This is the fruit of it.

 

28 Nevertheless, the people are strong that dwell in the land, the cities are walled and very great. Moreover, we saw the children of Neck (Anak, one of the giants) there.

 

29 The Lickers (Amalekites) dwell in the land of the south: and the, and the Trodden Underfoot (Jebusite – original inhabitants of Jerusalem), and the Talkers, Sayers (Amorites), dwell in the mountains: and the Humbled Ones (Canaanites) dwell by the sea, and along the river Descender (Jordan).

 

30 Dog (Caleb) stilled the people before Drawn (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 So they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched to the children of God Prevails (Israel), saying: The land, through which we have gone to search is a land that eats up the inhabitants thereof, and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.

 

33 There we saw the giants, the sons of Neck (Anak, one of the giants), which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
