1여호와께서 모세에게 일러 가라사대 2사람을 보내어 내가 이스라엘 자손에게 주는 가나안 땅을 탐지하게 하되 그 종족의 각 지파 중에서 족장 된 자 한 사람씩 보내라 3모세가 여호와의 명을 좇아 바란 광야에서 그들을 보내었으니 그들은 다 이스라엘 자손의 두령된 사람이라 4그들의 이름은 이러하니라 르우벤 지파에서는 삭굴의 아들 삼무아요 5시므온 지파에서는 호리의 아들 사밧이요 6유다 지파에서는 여분네의 아들 갈렙이요 7잇사갈 지파에서는 요셉의 아들 이갈이요 8에브라임 지파에서는 눈의 아들 호세아요 9베냐민 지파에서는 라부의 아들 발디요 10스불론 지파에서는 소디의 아들 갓디엘이요 11요셉 지파 곧 므낫세 지파에서는 수시의 아들 갓디요 12단 지파에서는 그말리의 아들 암미엘이요 13아셀 지파에서는 미가엘의 아들 스둘이요 14납달리 지파에서는 웝시의 아들 나비요 15갓 지파에서는 마기의 아들 그우엘이니 16이는 모세가 땅을 탐지하러 보낸 자들의 이름이라 모세가 눈의 아들 호세아를 여호수아라 칭하였더라 17모세가 가나안 땅을 탐지하러 그들을 보내며 이르되 너희는 남방길로 행하여 산지로 올라가서 18그 땅의 어떠함을 탐지하라 곧 그 땅 거민의 강약과 다소와 19그들의 거하는 땅의 호 불호와 거하는 성읍이 진영인지 산성인지와 20토지의 후박과 수목의 유무니라 담대하라 또 그 땅 실과를 가져오라 하니 그 때는 포도가 처음 익을 즈음이었더라 21이에 그들이 올라 가서 땅을 탐지하되 신 광야에서부터 하맛 어귀 르홉에 이르렀고 22또 남방으로 올라가서 헤브론에 이르렀으니 헤브론은 애굽 소안보다 칠 년 전에 세운 곳이라 그 곳에 아낙 자손 아히만과 세새와 달매가 있었더라 23또 에스골 골짜기에 이르러 거기서 포도 한 송이 달린 가지를 베어 둘이 막대기에 꿰어 메고 또 석류와 무화과를 취하니라 24이스라엘 자손이 거기서 포도송이를 벤 고로 그 곳을 에스골 골짜기라 칭하였더라 25사십 일 동안에 땅을 탐지하기를 마치고 돌아와 26바란 광야 가데스에 이르러 모세와 아론과 이스라엘 자손의 온 회중에게 나아와 그들에게 회보하고 그 땅 실과를 보이고 27모세에게 보고하여 가로되 당신이 우리를 보낸 땅에 간즉 과연 젓과 꿀이 그 땅에 흐르고 이것은 그 땅의 실과니이다 28그러나 그 땅 거민은 강하고 성읍은 견고하고 심히 클 뿐 아니라 거기서 아낙 자손을 보았으며 29아말렉인은 남방 땅에 거하고 헷인과 여부스인과 아모리인은 산지에 거하고 가나안인은 해변과 요단 가에 거하더이다 30갈렙이 모세 앞에서 백성을 안돈시켜 가로되 우리가 곧 올라가서 그 땅을 취하자 능히 이기리라 하나 31그와 함께 올라갔던 사람들은 가로되 우리는 능히 올라가서 그 백성을 치지 못하리라 그들은 우리보다 강하니라 하고 32이스라엘 자손 앞에서 그 탐지한 땅을 악평하여 가로되 우리가 두루 다니며 탐지한 땅은 그 거민을 삼키는 땅이요 거기서 본 모든 백성은 신장이 장대한 자들이며 33거기서 또 네피림 후손 아낙 자손 대장부들을 보았나니 우리는 스스로 보기에도 메뚜기 같으니 그들의 보기에도 그와 같았을 것이니라

1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them.” 3Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yahweh. All of them were men who were heads of the children of Israel. 4These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 5Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 6Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 7Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 8Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun. 9Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 10Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 11Of the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 12Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 13Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 14Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 15Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua. 17Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country. 18See the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many; 19and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds; 20and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes. 21So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. 22They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. 24That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there. 25They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. 26They went and came to Moses, to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them and to all the congregation. They showed them the fruit of the land. 27They told him, and said, “We came to the land where you sent us. Surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there. 29Amalek dwells in the land of the South. The Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country. The Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along the side of the Jordan.” 30Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it!” 31But the men who went up with him said, “We aren’t able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” 32They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature. 33There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim. We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”

1En de HEERE sprak tot Mozes, zeggende: 2Zend u mannen uit: die het land Kanaan verspieden, hetwelk Ik den kinderen Israels geven zal; van elken stam zijner vaderen zult gijlieden een man zenden, zijnde ieder een overste onder hen. 3Mozes dan zond hen uit de woestijn van Paran, naar den mond des HEEREN; al die mannen waren hoofden der kinderen Israels. 4En dit zijn hun namen: van den stam van Ruben, Sammua, de zoon van Zaccur. 5Van de stam van Simeon, Safat, de zoon van Hori. 6Van de stam van Juda, Kaleb, de zoon van Jefunne. 7Van de stam van Issaschar, Jigeal, de zoon van Jozef. 8Van de stam van Efraim, Hosea, de zoon van Nun. 9Van de stam van Benjamin, Palti, de zoon van Rafu. 10Van de stam van Zebulon, Gaddiel, de zoon van Sodi. 11Van de stam van Jozef, voor den stam van Manasse, Gaddi, de zoon van Susi. 12Van de stam van Dan, Ammiel, de zoon van Gemalli. 13Van de stam van Aser, Sethur, de zoon van Michael. 14Van de stam van Nafthali, Nachbi, de zoon van Wofsi. 15Van de stam van Gad, Guel, de zoon van Machi. 16Dit zijn de namen der mannen, die Mozes zond, om dat land te verspieden; en Mozes noemde Hosea, den zoon van Nun, Jozua. 17Mozes dan zond hen, om het land Kanaan te verspieden; en hij zeide tot hen: Trekt dit henen op tegen het zuiden, en klimt op het gebergte; 18En beziet het land, hoedanig het zij, en het volk, dat daarin woont, of het sterk zij of zwak, of het weinig zij of veel; 19En hoedanig het land zij, waarin hetzelve woont, of het goed zij of kwaad; en hoedanig de steden zijn, in dewelke hetzelve woont, of in legers, of in sterkten; 20Ook hoedanig het land zij, of het vet zij of mager, of er bomen in zijn of niet; en versterkt u, en neemt van de vrucht des lands. Die dagen nu waren de dagen der eerste vruchten van de wijndruiven. 21Alzo trokken zij op, en verspiedden het land, van de woestijn Zin af tot Rechob toe, waar men gaat naar Hamath. 22En zij trokken op in het zuiden, en kwamen tot Hebron toe en daar waren Ahiman, Sesai en Talmai, kinderen van Enak; Hebron nu was zeven jaren gebouwd voor Zoan in Egypte. 23Daarna kwamen zij tot het dal Eskol, en sneden van daar een rank af met een tros wijndruiven, dien zij droegen met tweeen, op een draagstok; ook van de granaatappelen en van de vijgen. 24Diezelve plaats noemde men het dal Eskol, ter oorzake van den tros, dien de kinderen Israels van daar afgesneden hadden. 25Daarna keerden zij weder van het verspieden des lands, ten einde van veertig dagen. 26En zij gingen heen, en kwamen tot Mozes en tot Aaron, en tot de gehele vergadering der kinderen Israels, in de woestijn Paran, naar Kades; en brachten bescheid weder aan hen, en aan de gehele vergadering, en lieten hen de vrucht des lands zien. 27En zij vertelden hem, en zeiden: Wij zijn gekomen tot dat land, waarheen gij ons gezonden hebt; en voorwaar, het is van melk en honig vloeiende, en dit is zijn vrucht. 28Behalve dat het een sterk volk is, hetwelk in dat land woont, en de steden zijn vast, en zeer groot; en ook hebben wij daar kinderen van Enak gezien. 29De Amalekieten wonen in het land van het zuiden; maar de Hethieten, en de Jebusieten, en de Amorieten wonen op het gebergte; en de Kanaanieten wonen aan de zee, en aan den oever van de Jordaan. 30Toen stilde Kaleb het volk voor Mozes, en zeide: Laat ons vrijmoedig optrekken, en dat erfelijk bezitten; want wij zullen dat voorzeker overweldigen! 31Maar de mannen, die met hem opgetrokken waren, zeiden: Wij zullen tot dat volk niet kunnen optrekken, want het is sterker dan wij. 32Alzo brachten zij een kwaad gerucht voort van het land, dat zij verspied hadden, aan de kinderen Israels, zeggende: Dat land, door hetwelk wij doorgegaan zijn, om het te verspieden, is een land, dat zijn inwoners verteert; en al het volk, hetwelk wij in het midden van hetzelve gezien hebben, zijn mannen van grote lengte. 33Wij hebben ook daar de reuzen gezien, en de kinderen van Enak, van de reuzen; en wij waren als sprinkhanen in onze ogen, alzo waren wij ook in hun ogen.
