chapter 13
1
And
the people marched from Haseroth, and pitched their tents in the desert of
Pharan.
2 And there the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
3 Send men to view the land of Chanaan, which I will
give to the children of Israel, one of every tribe, of the rulers.
4 Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending from
the desert of Pharan, principal men, whose names are these:
5 Of the tribe of Ruben, Sammua the son of Zechur.
6 Of the tribe of Simeon, Saphat the son of Hurl.
7 Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.
8 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
9 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Osee the son of Nun.
10 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu.
11 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Geddiel the son of Sodi.
12 Of the tribe of Joseph, of the sceptre of Manasses,
Gaddi the son of Susi.
13 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
14 Of the tribe of Aser, Sthur the son of Michael.
15 Of the tribe of Nephtali, Nahabi the son of Vapsi.
16 Of the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi.
17 These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to
view the land: and he called Osee the son of Nun, Josue.
18 And Moses sent them to view the land of Chanaan, and
said to them: Go you up by the south side. And when you shall come to the
mountains,
19 View the land, of what sort it is: and the people
that are the inhabitants thereof, whether they be strong or weak: few in number
or many:
20 The land itself, whether it be good or bad: what
manner of cities, walled or without walls:
21 The ground, fat or barren, woody or without trees.
Be of good courage, and bring us of the fruits of the land. Now it was the time
when the first ripe grapes are fit to be eaten.
22 And when they were gone up, they viewed the land
from the desert of Sin, unto Rohob as you enter into Emath.
23 And they went up at the south side, and came to
Hebron, where were Achiman and Sisai and Tholmai the sons of Enac. For Hebron
was built seven years before Tanis the city of Egypt.
24 And going forward as far as the torrent of the
cluster of grapes, they cut off a branch with its cluster of grapes, which two
men carried upon a lever. They took also of the pomegranates and of the figs of
that place:
25 Which was called Nehelescol, that is to say, the
torrent of the cluster of grapes, because from thence the children of Israel
had carried a cluster of grapes.
26 And they that went to spy out the land returned
after forty days, having gone round all the country,
27 And came to Moses and Aaron and to all the assembly
of the children of Israel to the desert of Pharan, which is in Cades. And
speaking to them and to all the multitude, they shewed them the fruits of the
land:
28 And they related and said: We came into the land to
which thou sentest us, which in very deed floweth with milk and honey as may be
known by these fruits:
29 But it hath very strong inhabitants, and the cities
are great and walled. We saw there the race of Enac.
30 Amalec dwelleth in the south, the Hethite and the
Jebusite and the Amorrhite in the mountains: but the Chanaanite abideth by the
sea and near the streams of the Jordan.
31 In the mean time Caleb, to still the murmuring of
the people that rose against Moses, said: Let us go up and possess the land,
for we shall be able to conquer it.
32 But the others, that had been with him, said: No, we
are not able to go up to this people, because they are stronger than we.
33 And they spoke ill of the land, which they had
viewed, before the children of Israel, saying: The land which we have viewed,
devoureth its inhabitants: the people, that we beheld, are of a tall stature.
34 There we saw certain monsters of the sons of Enac,
of the giant kind: in comparison of whom, we seemed like locusts.
