The idea seemed good to me; so I selected twelve of you, one man from each tribe.

That seemed like a good idea to me. So I chose 12 of you. I picked one man from each tribe.

The thing seemed good to me, and I took twelve men from you, one man from each tribe.

The plan seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one man for each tribe.

The plan pleased me, and I took twelve of your men, one man for each tribe.

“ The plan pleased me well; so I took twelve of your men, one man from each tribe.

And the thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:

The plan seemed good to me, so I selected 12 men from among you, one man for each tribe.

And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:

I thought this was a good idea, so I sent twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.

The thing pleased me well. I took twelve of your men, one man for every tribe.

So Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He sent out twelve men, all tribal leaders of Israel, from their camp in the wilderness of Paran.These were the tribes and the names of their leaders: Tribe Leader Reuben Shammua son of ZaccurSimeon Shaphat son of HoriJudah Caleb son of JephunnehIssachar Igal son of JosephEphraim Hoshea son of NunBenjamin Palti son of RaphuZebulun Gaddiel son of SodiManasseh son of Joseph Gaddi son of SusiDan Ammiel son of GemalliAsher Sethur son of MichaelNaphtali Nahbi son of VophsiGad Geuel son of MakiThese 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.)So they went up and explored the land from the wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, near Lebo hamath.Going north, they passed through the Negev and arrived at Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai— all descendants of Anak— lived.( The ancient town of Hebron was founded seven years before the Egyptian city of Zoan.)When they came to the valley of Eshcol, they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes so large that it took two of them to carry it on a pole between them! They also brought back samples of the pomegranates and figs.That place was called the valley of Eshcol( which means“ cluster”), because of the cluster of grapes the Israelite men cut there.After exploring the land for forty days, the men returnedto 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!”
