1 profectus est de Aseroth
fixis tentoriis in deserto Pharan
2 ibi locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
3 mitte viros qui considerent terram Chanaan
quam daturus sum filiis Israhel
singulos de singulis tribubus ex principibus
4 fecit Moses quod Dominus imperarat
de deserto Pharan mittens principes viros quorum ista sunt nomina
5 de tribu Ruben Semmua filium Zecchur
6 de tribu Symeon Saphat filium Huri
7 de tribu Iuda Chaleb filium Iepphonne
8 de tribu Isachar Igal filium Ioseph
9 de tribu Ephraim Osee filium Nun
10 de tribu Beniamin Phalti filium Raphu
11 de tribu Zabulon Geddihel filium Sodi
12 de tribu Ioseph sceptri Manasse Gaddi filium Susi
13 de tribu Dan Ammihel filium Gemalli
14 de tribu Aser Sthur filium Michahel
15 de tribu Nepthali Naabbi filium Vaphsi
16 de tribu Gad Guhel filium Machi
17 haec sunt nomina virorum quos misit Moses ad considerandam terram
vocavitque Osee filium Nun Iosue
18 misit ergo eos Moses ad considerandam terram Chanaan
et dixit ad eos ascendite per meridianam plagam
cumque veneritis ad montes
19 considerate terram qualis sit
et populum qui habitator est eius utrum fortis sit an infirmus
pauci numero an plures
20 ipsa terra bona an mala
urbes quales muratae an absque muris
21 humus pinguis an sterilis nemorosa an absque arboribus
confortamini et adferte nobis de fructibus terrae
erat autem tempus quando iam praecoquae uvae vesci possunt
22 cumque ascendissent exploraverunt terram
a deserto Sin usque Roob intrantibus Emath
23 ascenderuntque ad meridiem et venerunt in Hebron
ubi erant Ahiman et Sisai et Tholmai filii Enach
nam Hebron septem annis ante Tanim urbem Aegypti condita est
24 pergentesque usque ad torrentem Botri
absciderunt palmitem cum uva sua
quem portaverunt in vecte duo viri
de malis quoque granatis et de ficis loci illius tulerunt
25 qui appellatus est Neelescol id est torrens Botri
eo quod botrum inde portassent filii Israhel
26 reversique exploratores terrae post quadraginta dies
omni regione circuita
27 venerunt ad Mosen et Aaron et ad omnem coetum filiorum Israhel
in desertum Pharan quod est in Cades
locutique eis et omni multitudini ostenderunt fructus terrae
28 et narraverunt dicentes
venimus in terram ad quam misisti nos
quae re vera fluit lacte et melle ut ex his fructibus cognosci
potest
29 sed cultores fortissimos habet et urbes grandes atque muratas
stirpem Enach vidimus ibi
30 Amalech habitat in meridie
Hettheus et Iebuseus et Amorreus in montanis
Chananeus vero moratur iuxta mare et circa fluenta Iordanis
31 inter haec Chaleb conpescens murmur populi qui oriebatur contra Mosen
ait
ascendamus et possideamus terram quoniam poterimus obtinere eam
32 alii vero qui fuerant cum eo dicebant
nequaquam ad hunc populum valemus ascendere
quia fortior nobis est
33 detraxeruntque terrae quam inspexerant apud filios Israhel dicentes
terram quam lustravimus devorat habitatores suos
populum quem aspeximus procerae staturae est
34 ibi vidimus monstra quaedam filiorum Enach de genere giganteo
quibus conparati quasi lucustae videbamur
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them. 3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel. 4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. 9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely , of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
17 ¶ And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain: 18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; 20 And what the land is , whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
21 ¶ So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath. 22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were . (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence. 25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
26 ¶ And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. 28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan. 30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
