And the LORD said to Moses - ,
| LXX |
“ Send out men to spy out - the land of Canaan , which I am giving to the Israelites .... From each of their fathers’ tribes send one man ... who is a leader
| LXX |
So at the consent of the LORD , Moses sent them out from the Wilderness of Paran. All the men were leaders vvv of the Israelites - ,
| LXX |
and these were their names : From the tribe of Reuben , Shammua son of Zaccur ;
| LXX |
from the tribe of Simeon , Shaphat son of Hori ;
| LXX |
from the tribe of Judah , Caleb son of Jephunneh ;
| LXX |
from the tribe of Issachar , Igal son of Joseph ;
| LXX |
from the tribe of Ephraim , Hoshea son of Nun ;
| LXX |
from the tribe of Benjamin , Palti son of Raphu ;
| LXX |
from the tribe of Zebulun , Gaddiel son of Sodi ;
| LXX |
from the tribe of Manasseh ( a tribe of Joseph ), Gaddi son of Susi ;
| LXX |
from the tribe of Dan , Ammiel son of Gemalli ;
| LXX |
from the tribe of Asher , Sethur son of Michael ;
| LXX |
from the tribe of Naphtali , Nahbi son of Vophsi ;
| LXX |
(and) from the tribe of Gad , Geuel son of Machi.
| LXX |
These were the names of the men - Moses sent to spy out - the land ; and Moses gave to Hoshea son of Nun {the name} Joshua -.
| LXX |
When Moses sent them to spy out - the land of Canaan , he told them , “ Go up - through the Negev and - into the hill country.
| LXX |
See - what the land is like and whether its people are strong ... or weak , few ... or many.
| LXX |
- Is the land where they live good or bad ? ... Are the cities where they dwell open camps or fortifications ?
| LXX |
- Is the soil fertile ... or unproductive ? Are there trees or not ? Be courageous , and bring back some of the fruit of the land. ” ( It was the season ... for the first ripe grapes. )
| LXX |
So they went up and spied out - the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob , vvv toward Lebo-hamath.
| LXX |
They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron , where Ahiman , Sheshai , and Talmai , the descendants of Anak , dwelled. It had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
| LXX |
When they came to the Valley of Eshcol , they cut down ... a branch with a single cluster of grapes , which they carried on a pole between two men. They also took some pomegranates ... and figs.
| LXX |
Because of ... the cluster - of grapes the Israelites ... cut there , that place was called the Valley of Eshcol.
| LXX |
After forty days (the men) returned from spying out the land ,
| LXX |
and they went back ... to Moses , - Aaron , ... and the whole congregation ... of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back - a report - for the whole congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
| LXX |
And they gave this account ... : “ We went into the land to which you sent us , and indeed , it is flowing with milk and honey. Here is some of its fruit !
| LXX |
Nevertheless ... , the people living in the land are strong , and the cities ... are large and fortified. We even saw the descendants of Anak there.
| LXX |
The Amalekites live in the land of the Negev ; the Hittites , Jebusites , and Amorites live in the hill country ; and the Canaanites live by the sea and along ... the Jordan. ”
| LXX |
Then Caleb - quieted the people before Moses and said , “ We must go up ... and take possession of (the land) , for we can certainly conquer ...
| LXX |
But the men who had gone up with him replied , “ We cannot ... go up against the people , for they are stronger than we are ! ”
| LXX |
So they gave - the Israelites a bad report ... ... about the land that they had spied out : - “ The land - we explored ... - - devours its inhabitants , ... and all the people - we saw there vvv are great in stature.
| LXX |
We even saw - the Nephilim there — the descendants of Anak that come from the Nephilim ! We seemed like grasshoppers in our own sight , and we must have seemed ... the same to them ! ”
