耶和華對摩西說：「你要派十二位首領，每個支派一位，去打探我要賜給以色列人的迦南。」摩西就按耶和華的吩咐，從巴蘭曠野派出了十二位首領。他們的名字如下：呂便支派撒刻的兒子沙姆亞，西緬支派何利的兒子沙法，猶大支派耶孚尼的兒子迦勒，以薩迦支派約色的兒子以迦，以法蓮支派嫩的兒子何西阿，便雅憫支派拉孚的兒子帕提，西布倫支派梭底的兒子迦疊，約瑟的子孫、瑪拿西支派穌西的兒子迦底，但支派基瑪利的兒子亞米利，亞設支派米迦勒的兒子西帖，拿弗他利支派縛西的兒子拿比，迦得支派瑪基的兒子臼利。以上是摩西派去打探迦南的人，他稱嫩的兒子何西阿為約書亞。摩西派他們去打探迦南，並囑咐說：「你們先去南地，然後再進山區，打探那地方，看看那裡的居民是強是弱，是多是少；那地方是好是壞，人們住的是堅固的城池還是不設防的營地；土地是肥沃還是貧瘠，有沒有樹木。儘量帶些當地的果子回來。」當時是葡萄初熟的季節。
