                                   Chapter 13


  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.


                                   Chapter 14


  1. And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried;
     and the people wept that night.

  2. And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and
     against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them,
     Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would
     God we had died in this wilderness!

  3. And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to
     fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be
     a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

  4. And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let
     us return into Egypt.

  5. Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the
     assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

  6. And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
     which were of them that searched the land, rent their
     clothes:

  7. And they spake unto all the company of the children of
     Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search
     it, is an exceeding good land.

  8. If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this
     land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and
     honey.

  9. Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the
     people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence
     is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them
     not.

 10. But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And
     the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the
     congregation before all the children of Israel.

 11. And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people
     provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for
     all the signs which I have shewed among them?

 12. I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them,
     and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than
     they.

 13. And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear
     it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from
     among them;)

 14. And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for
     they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that
     thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth
     over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a
     pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

 15. Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the
     nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak,
     saying,

 16. Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the
     land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them
     in the wilderness.

 17. And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great,
     according as thou hast spoken, saying,

 18. The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving
     iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the
     guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
     children unto the third and fourth generation.

 19. Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people
     according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast
     forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

 20. And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

 21. But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with
     the glory of the LORD.

 22. Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my
     miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and
     have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened
     to my voice;

 23. Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their
     fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

 24. But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with
     him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the
     land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

 25. (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.)
     Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the
     way of the Red sea.

 26. And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

 27. How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which
     murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the
     children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

 28. Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye
     have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

 29. Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that
     were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from
     twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.

 30. Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which
     I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of
     Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

 31. But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them
     will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have
     despised.

 32. But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this
     wilderness.

 33. And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty
     years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be
     wasted in the wilderness.

 34. After the number of the days in which ye searched the land,
     even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your
     iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of
     promise.

 35. I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil
     congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this
     wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

 36. And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who
     returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against
     him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,

 37. Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the
     land, died by the plague before the LORD.

 38. But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
     which were of the men that went to search the land, lived
     still.
