Numbers 13:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 13:16

14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;

15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to¹ spy out the land. And Moses called ^aHoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.

17 Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way into the South, and go up to ^athe mountains,

18 and see what the land is like: whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many;

19 whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds;

20 whether the land is rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. ^aBe of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

21 So they went up and spied out the land ^afrom the Wilderness of Zin as far as ^bRehob, near the entrance of ^cHamath.

22 And they went up through the South and came to ^aHebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of ^bAnak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
