STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר	1 And the people marched from Haseroth, and pitched their tents in the desert of Pharan.
2 שְׁלַח־לְךָ אֲנָשִׁים וְיָתֻרוּ אֶת־אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי נֹתֵן לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ אֶחָד אִישׁ אֶחָד לְמַטֵּה אֲבֹתָיו תִּשְׁלָחוּ כֹּל נָשִׂיא בָהֶם	2 And there the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
3 וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה מִמִּדְבַּר פָּארָן עַל־פִּי יְהוָה כֻּלָּם אֲנָשִׁים רָאשֵׁי בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵמָּה	3 Send men to view the land of Chanaan, which I will give to the children of Israel, one of every tribe, of the rulers.
4 וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמֹותָם לְמַטֵּה רְאוּבֵן שַׁמּוּעַ בֶּן־זַכּוּר	4 Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending from the desert of Pharan, principal men, whose names are these:
5 לְמַטֵּה שִׁמְעֹון שָׁפָט בֶּן־חֹורִי	5 Of the tribe of Ruben, Sammua the son of Zechur.
6 לְמַטֵּה יְהוּדָה כָּלֵב בֶּן־יְפֻנֶּה	6 Of the tribe of Simeon, Saphat the son of Hurl.
7 לְמַטֵּה יִשָּׂשכָר יִגְאָל בֶּן־יֹוסֵף	7 Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.
8 לְמַטֵּה אֶפְרָיִם הֹושֵׁעַ בִּן־נוּן	8 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
9 לְמַטֵּה בִנְיָמִן פַּלְטִי בֶּן־רָפוּא	9 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Osee the son of Nun.
10 לְמַטֵּה זְבוּלֻן גַּדִּיאֵל בֶּן־סֹודִי	10 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu.
11 לְמַטֵּה יֹוסֵף לְמַטֵּה מְנַשֶּׁה גַּדִּי בֶּן־סוּסִי	11 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Geddiel the son of Sodi.
12 לְמַטֵּה דָן עַמִּיאֵל בֶּן־גְּמַלִּי	12 Of the tribe of Joseph, of the sceptre of Manasses, Gaddi the son of Susi.
13 לְמַטֵּה אָשֵׁר סְתוּר בֶּן־מִיכָאֵל	13 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
14 לְמַטֵּה נַפְתָּלִי נַחְבִּי בֶּן־וָפְסִי	14 Of the tribe of Aser, Sthur the son of Michael.
15 לְמַטֵּה גָד גְּאוּאֵל בֶּן־מָכִי	15 Of the tribe of Nephtali, Nahabi the son of Vapsi.
16 אֵלֶּה שְׁמֹות הָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־שָׁלַח מֹשֶׁה לָתוּר אֶת־הָאָרֶץ וַיִּקְרָא מֹשֶׁה לְהֹושֵׁעַ בִּן־נוּן יְהֹושֻׁעַ	16 Of the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi.
17 וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה לָתוּר אֶת־אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם עֲלוּ זֶה בַּנֶּגֶב וַעֲלִיתֶם אֶת־הָהָר	17 These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to view the land: and he called Osee the son of Nun, Josue.
18 וּרְאִיתֶם אֶת־הָאָרֶץ מַה־הִוא וְאֶת־הָעָם הַיֹּשֵׁב עָלֶיהָ הֶחָזָק הוּא הֲרָפֶה הַמְעַט הוּא אִם־רָב	18 And Moses sent them to view the land of Chanaan, and said to them: Go you up by the south side. And when you shall come to the mountains,
19 וּמָה הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־הוּא יֹשֵׁב בָּהּ הֲטֹובָה הִוא אִם־רָעָה וּמָה הֶעָרִים אֲשֶׁר־הוּא יֹושֵׁב בָּהֵנָּה הַבְּמַחֲנִים אִם בְּמִבְצָרִים	19 View the land, of what sort it is: and the people that are the inhabitants thereof, whether they be strong or weak: few in number or many:
20 וּמָה הָאָרֶץ הַשְּׁמֵנָה הִוא אִם־רָזָה הֲיֵשׁ־בָּהּ עֵץ אִם־אַיִן וְהִתְחַזַּקְתֶּם וּלְקַחְתֶּם מִפְּרִי הָאָרֶץ וְהַיָּמִים יְמֵי בִּכּוּרֵי עֲנָבִים	20 The land itself, whether it be good or bad: what manner of cities, walled or without walls:
21 וַיַּעֲלוּ וַיָּתֻרוּ אֶת־הָאָרֶץ מִמִּדְבַּר־צִן עַד־רְחֹב לְבֹא חֲמָת	21 The ground, fat or barren, woody or without trees. Be of good courage, and bring us of the fruits of the land. Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes are fit to be eaten.
22 וַיַּעֲלוּ בַנֶּגֶב וַיָּבֹא עַד־חֶבְרֹון וְשָׁם אֲחִימַן שֵׁשַׁי וְתַלְמַי יְלִידֵי הָעֲנָק וְחֶבְרֹון שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים נִבְנְתָה לִפְנֵי צֹעַן מִצְרָיִם	22 And when they were gone up, they viewed the land from the desert of Sin, unto Rohob as you enter into Emath.
23 וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־נַחַל אֶשְׁכֹּל וַיִּכְרְתוּ מִשָּׁם זְמֹורָה וְאֶשְׁכֹּול עֲנָבִים אֶחָד וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ בַמֹּוט בִּשְׁנָיִם וּמִן־הָרִמֹּנִים וּמִן־הַתְּאֵנִים	23 And they went up at the south side, and came to Hebron, where were Achiman and Sisai and Tholmai the sons of Enac. For Hebron was built seven years before Tanis the city of Egypt.
24 לַמָּקֹום הַהוּא קָרָא נַחַל אֶשְׁכֹּול עַל אֹדֹות הָאֶשְׁכֹּול אֲשֶׁר־כָּרְתוּ מִשָּׁם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל	24 And going forward as far as the torrent of the cluster of grapes, they cut off a branch with its cluster of grapes, which two men carried upon a lever. They took also of the pomegranates and of the figs of that place:
25 וַיָּשֻׁבוּ מִתּוּר הָאָרֶץ מִקֵּץ אַרְבָּעִים יֹום	25 Which was called Nehelescol, that is to say, the torrent of the cluster of grapes, because from thence the children of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes.
26 וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶל־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶל־כָּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־מִדְבַּר פָּארָן קָדֵשָׁה וַיָּשִׁיבוּ אֹותָם דָּבָר וְאֶת־כָּל־הָעֵדָה וַיַּרְאוּם אֶת־פְּרִי הָאָרֶץ	26 And they that went to spy out the land returned after forty days, having gone round all the country,
27 וַיְסַפְּרוּ־לֹו וַיֹּאמְרוּ בָּאנוּ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר שְׁלַחְתָּנוּ וְגַם זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבַשׁ הִוא וְזֶה־פִּרְיָהּ	27 And came to Moses and Aaron and to all the assembly of the children of Israel to the desert of Pharan, which is in Cades. And speaking to them and to all the multitude, they shewed them the fruits of the land:
28 אֶפֶס כִּי־עַז הָעָם הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּאָרֶץ וְהֶעָרִים בְּצֻרֹות גְּדֹלֹת מְאֹד וְגַם־יְלִדֵי הָעֲנָק רָאִינוּ שָׁם	28 And they related and said: We came into the land to which thou sentest us, which in very deed floweth with milk and honey as may be known by these fruits:
29 עֲמָלֵק יֹושֵׁב בְּאֶרֶץ הַנֶּגֶב וְהַחִתִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי וְהָאֱמֹרִי יֹושֵׁב בָּהָר וְהַכְּנַעֲנִי יֹשֵׁב עַל־הַיָּם וְעַל יַד הַיַּרְדֵּן	29 But it hath very strong inhabitants, and the cities are great and walled. We saw there the race of Enac.
30 וַיַּהַס כָּלֵב אֶת־הָעָם אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וַיֹּאמֶר עָלֹה נַעֲלֶה וְיָרַשְׁנוּ אֹתָהּ כִּי־יָכֹול נוּכַל לָהּ	30 Amalec dwelleth in the south, the Hethite and the Jebusite and the Amorrhite in the mountains: but the Chanaanite abideth by the sea and near the streams of the Jordan.
31 וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־עָלוּ עִמֹּו אָמְרוּ לֹא נוּכַל לַעֲלֹות אֶל־הָעָם כִּי־חָזָק הוּא מִמֶּנּוּ	31 In the mean time Caleb, to still the murmuring of the people that rose against Moses, said: Let us go up and possess the land, for we shall be able to conquer it.
32 וַיֹּוצִיאוּ דִּבַּת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר תָּרוּ אֹתָהּ אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר עָבַרְנוּ בָהּ לָתוּר אֹתָהּ אֶרֶץ אֹכֶלֶת יֹושְׁבֶיהָ הִוא וְכָל־הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־רָאִינוּ בְתֹוכָהּ אַנְשֵׁי מִדֹּות	32 But the others, that had been with him, said: No, we are not able to go up to this people, because they are stronger than we.
33 וְשָׁם רָאִינוּ אֶת־הַנְּפִילִים בְּנֵי עֲנָק מִן־הַנְּפִלִים וַנְּהִי בְעֵינֵינוּ כַּחֲגָבִים וְכֵן הָיִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶם	33 And they spoke ill of the land, which they had viewed, before the children of Israel, saying: The land which we have viewed, devoureth its inhabitants: the people, that we beheld, are of a tall stature.
	34 There we saw certain monsters of the sons of Enac, of the giant kind: in comparison of whom, we seemed like locusts.
