Judah Caleb son of Jephunneh

Two of the men who had explored the land, Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, tore their clothing.They said to all the people of Israel,“ The land we traveled through and explored is a wonderful land!And if the Lord is pleased with us, he will bring us safely into that land and give it to us. It is a rich land flowing with milk and honey.Do not rebel against the Lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the Lord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!”But the whole community began to talk about stoning Joshua and Caleb. Then the glorious presence of the Lord appeared to all the Israelites at the Tabernacle.

to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel at Kadesh in the wilderness of Paran. They reported to the whole community what they had seen and showed them the fruit they had taken from the land.This was their report to Moses:“ We entered the land you sent us to explore, and it is indeed a bountiful country— a land flowing with milk and honey. Here is the kind of fruit it produces.But the people living there are powerful, and their towns are large and fortified. We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak!The Amalekites live in the Negev, and the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country. The Canaanites live along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and along the Jordan Valley.”But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses.“ Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said.“ We can certainly conquer it!”But the other men who had explored the land with him disagreed.“ We can’t go up against them! They are stronger than we are!”So they spread this bad report about the land among the Israelites:“ The land we traveled through and explored will devour anyone who goes to live there. All the people we saw were huge.We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that’s what they thought, too!”

These are the names of the men Moses sent out to explore the land.( Moses called Hoshea son of Nun by the name Joshua.)Moses gave the men these instructions as he sent them out to explore the land:“ Go north through the Negev into the hill country.See what the land is like, and find out whether the people living there are strong or weak, few or many.See what kind of land they live in. Is it good or bad? Do their towns have walls, or are they unprotected like open camps?Is the soil fertile or poor? Are there many trees? Do your best to bring back samples of the crops you see.”( It happened to be the season for harvesting the first ripe grapes.)
