That’s what your fathers did. I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to check out the land.

All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them,“ If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness!

“ Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders.”So at the Lord’s command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites.These are their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zakkur;from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;from the tribe of Manasseh( a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.These are the names of the men Moses sent to explore the land.( Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.)When Moses sent them to explore Canaan, he said,“ Go up through the Negev and on into the hill country.See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many.What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified?How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land.”( It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)So they went up and explored the land from the Desert of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo Hamath.They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived.( Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates and figs.That place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there.At the end of forty days they returned from exploring the land.They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.

Now the people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him,“ You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me.I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions,

Then, as the Lord our God commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites through all that vast and dreadful wilderness that you have seen, and so we reached Kadesh Barnea.Then I said to you,“ You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.See, the Lord your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”Then all of you came to me and said,“ Let us send men ahead to spy out the land for us and bring back a report about the route we are to take and the towns we will come to.”The idea seemed good to me; so I selected twelve of you, one man from each tribe.They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshkol and explored it.Taking with them some of the fruit of the land, they brought it down to us and reported,“ It is a good land that the Lord our God is giving us.”
