The Command to Send Spies

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.
