Numbers 13:11-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. from the tribe of Zebulon, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;

12. from the tribe of Joseph, of the scepter of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;

13. from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;

14. from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;

15. from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;

16. from the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi.

17. These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to examine the land. And he called Hosea, the son of Nun, Joshua.

18. And so, Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan, and he said to them: "Ascend by the south side. And when you arrive at the mountains,

19. consider the land, as to what kind it may be, and the people, who are its inhabitants, whether they may be strong or weak, whether they may be few in number or many,

20. and the land itself, whether it is good or bad, what kind of cities, walled or without walls,

21. the soil, rich or barren, forested or without trees. Be strong, and bring us some of the fruits of the land." Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes were ready to be eaten.

22. And when they had ascended, they explored the land from the desert of Sin, all the way to Rehob, as one enters into Hamath.

23. And they ascended by the south side. And they arrived at Hebron, where there were Ahiman and Shishai and Talmai, the sons of Anak. For Hebron was founded seven years before Tanis, the city of Egypt.

24. And continuing on as far as the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, they cut off a vine with its grapes, which two men carried on a board. Likewise, they took from the pomegranates and the figs of that place,

25. which was called Nehel Eshcol, that is, the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, because the sons of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes from there.
