| 1 ܘܡܠܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܡ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ. | 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 2 ܫܕܪ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܢܓܫܘܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ. ܕܝ̇ܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ. ܚܕ ܚܕ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܐܒ̈ܗܘܗܝ ܫܕܪ. ܟܠ ܪ̈ܫܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ. | 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 ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܦܪܢ. ܒܡܠܬ ܦܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ. ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܪ̈ܫܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ. | 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 ܘܗܠܝܢ ܫܡ̈ܗܝܗܘܢ. ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܪܘܒܝܠ. ܫܡܘܥ ܒܪ ܙܟܘܪ. | 4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. |
| 5 ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ. ܫܦܛ ܒܪ ܚܕܝ. | 5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. |
| 6 ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܟܠܒ ܒܪ ܝܘܦܢܐ. | 6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. |
| 7 ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܐܝܣܟܪ. ܢܓܐܝܠ ܒܪ ܝܘܣܦ. | 7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. |
| 8 ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܐܦܪܝܡ. ܗܘܫܥ ܒܪܢܘܢ. | 8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. |
| 9 ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܒܢܝܡܝܢ. ܦܠܛܝ ܒܪ ܕܦܘ. | 9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. |
| 10 ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܙܒܘܠܘܢ. ܓܕܝ ܒܪ ܣܘܪܝ . | 10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. |
| 11 ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܝܘܣܦ ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܡܢܫܐ. ܓܕܝ ܒܪ ܣܘܣܝ. | 11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. |

| 14 ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܢܦܬܠܝ. ܢܚܒܝ ܒܪ ܘܦܣܝ. | 14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. |
| 15 ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܓܕ ܓܘܐܝܠ ܒܪ ܡܟܝܪ. | 15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. |
| 16 ܗܠܝܢ ܫܡ̈ܗܐ ܕܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܫܕܪ ܡܘܫܐ ܠܡܓܫ ܐܪܥܐ. ܘܩܪܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܠܗܘܫܥ ܒܪܢܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ. | 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 ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܠܡܓܫ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ. ܣܩܘ ܗܟܢܐ ܠܬܝܡܢܐ. ܘܣܩܘ ܠܛܘܪܐ. | 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 ܘܚܙܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܡܢܐ ܗܝ. ܘܠܥܡܐ ܕܝ̇ܬܒܝܢ ܒܗ̇. ܐܢ ܥܫܝܢ ܗܘ ܐܘ ܚܠܫ. ܐܘ ܙܥܘܪ ܗܘ ܐܘ ܣܓܝ. | 18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; |
| 19 ܘܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܝ̇ܬܒܝܢ ܒܗ̇. | 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 ܐܢ ܫܡܝܢܐ ܗܝ ܐܘ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ̇ ܐ̈ܝܠܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܐ. ܘܐܬܚܝܠܘ ܘܣܒܘ ܡܢ ܦܐܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ. ܘܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝ ܒܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܥܢ̈ܒܐ. | 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 ܘܣܠܩܘ ܘܓܫܘܗ̇ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܨܝܢ. ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܪܚܘܒ ܕܒܡܥܠܢܐ ܕܚܡܬ. | 21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath. |
| 22 ܘܣܠܩܘ ܠܬܝܡܢܐ. ܘܐܬܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܒܪܘܢ. ܘܬܡܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܚܝܡܢ ܘܫܝܫܝ ܘܬܘܠܡܝ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ. ܘܚܒܪܘܢ ܫܒܥ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܐܬܒܢܝܬ ܩܕܡ ܨܥܢ ܕܒܡܨܪܝܢ. | 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 ܘܐܬܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܢܚܠܐ ܕܣܓܘܠܐ. ܘܦܣܩܘ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܫܒܘܩܐ ܘܣܓܘܠܐ ܚܕ ܕܥܢ̈ܒܐ. ܘܫܩܠܘܗܝ ܒܩܘܦܐ ܒܝܬ ܬܪ̈ܝܢ. ܘܡܢ ܪ̈ܘܡܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܐ̈ܢܐ. | 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 ܘܠܐܬܪܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܩܪܘ ܢܚܠܐ ܕܣܓܘܠܐ. ܡܛܠ ܣܓܘܠܐ ܕܩܛܦܘ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ. | 24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence. |
| 25 ܘܗܦܟܘ ܡܢ ܓܫܬܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܒܬܪ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ. | 25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. |
| 26 ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܠܘܬ ܐܗܪܘܢ. ܘܠܘܬ ܟܠܗ̇ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܕܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܦܪܢ ܠܪܩܡ. ܘܐܬܝܒܘܗܝ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܗ ܘܠܟܠܗ̇ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ. ܘܚܘܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܦܐܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ. | 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 ܘܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܘ. ܐܙܠܢ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܫܕܪܬܢ ܘܡܪܕܝܐ ܚܠܒܐ ܘܕܒܫܐ. ܘܗܠܝܢ ܦܐܪ̈ܝܗ̇. | 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 ܒܪܡ ܕܝܢ ܥܫܝܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܝ̇ܬܒܝܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ. ܘܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܥܫܝܢܢ ܘܛܒ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢ. ܘܐܦ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܬܡܢ. | 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 ܥܡܠܝܩ ܝ̇ܬܒ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ. ܘܚ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܝܒ̈ܘܣܝܐ ܘܐܡܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܝ̇ܬܒܝܢ ܒܛܘܪܐ. ܘܟܢ̈ܥܢܝܐ ܝ̇ܬܒܝܢ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ. ܘܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܘܪܕܢܢ. | 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 ܘܫܬܩ ܟܠܒ ܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ. ܡܣܩ ܢܣܩ ܘܢܐܪܬܝܗ̇. ܡܛܠ ܕܡܨܝܢܢ ܚܝܠܗ̇. | 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 ܘܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܣܠܩܘ ܥܡܗ ܐܡ̇ܪܝܢ. ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ ܠܡܣܩ ܥܠ ܥܡܐ. ܡܛܠ ܕܥܫܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܢܢ. | 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 ܘܐܦܩܘ ܛܒܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܕܓܫܘܗ̇ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ. ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ. ܐܪܥܐ ܕܥܒܪܢ ܒܗ̇ ܘܓܫܢܗ̇. ܐܪܥܐ ܐ̇ܟܠܬ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܗܝ. ܘܟܠ ܥܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܒܓܘܗ̇. ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܫܘܚܬܐ. | 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 ܘܬܡܢ ܚܙܝܢ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ. ܕܡܢ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ . ܘܗ̈ܘܝܢ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܡ̈ܨܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܗ̈ܘܝܢ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ. | 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. |
