The Command to Send Spies
Numbers 13:1-16
1
And the LORD said to Moses,
2
“Send out for yourself 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 among them.”
3
So at the consent of the LORD, Moses sent them out from the Wilderness of Paran. All the men were leaders of the Israelites,
4
and these were their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
5
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
6
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
7
from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
8
from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
9
from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
10
from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
11
from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;
12
from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
13
from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
14
from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
15
and from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
16
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.
