The Command to Send Spies

1

ADONAI said to Moshe,

2

"Send men on your behalf to reconnoiter the land of Kena'an, which I am giving to the people of Isra'el. From each ancestral tribe send someone who is a leader in his tribe."

3

Moshe dispatched them from the Pa'ran Desert as ADONAI had ordered; all of them were leading men among the people of Isra'el.

Here are their names: from the tribe of Re'uven, Shamua the son of Zakur;

from the tribe of Shim'on, Shafat the son of Hori;

6

from the tribe of Y'hudah, Kalev the son of Y'funeh;

from the tribe of Efrayim, Hoshea the son of Nun;

9

from the tribe of Binyamin, Palti the son of Rafu;

from the tribe of Z'vulun, Gadi'el the son of Sodi;

11

from the tribe of Yosef, that is, from the tribe of M'nasheh, Gadi the son of Susi;

from the tribe of Dan, 'Ammi'el the son of G'malli;

13

from the tribe of Asher, S'tur the son of Mikha'el;

14
