4 Mosebog 13
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Send Mænd for dig, at de bespejde det Land Kanaan, hvilket jeg giver Israels Børn; I skulle sende een Mand for hver sin Fædrene-Stamme, enhver iblandt dem skal være en Fyrste.
Send thou men, that they may search out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Ye shall send a man of every tribe of his fathers, each a prince among them.
3 Saa sendte Mose dem fra Parans Ørk, efter Herrens Mund, Mænd, der alle vare Øverster for Israels Børn.
And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran: according to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them heads of the children of Israel.

16 Disse ere Navnene paa de Mænd, som Mose sendte til at bespejde Landet; men Mose kaldte Hosea, Nuns Søn, Josva.
These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to search out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua.
17 Og Mose sendte dem til at bespejde Kanaans Land og sagde til dem: Drager herfra op i Sydlandet, og I skulle gaa op paa Bjergene.
And Moses sent them to search out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the south and go up into the hill-country,
18 Og I skulle bese Landet, hvordan det er, og det Folk, som bor derudi, om det er stærkt eller svagt, om det er lidet eller talrigt,
and ye shall see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;
19 og hvad det er for et Land, som det bor udi, om det er godt eller slet, og hvad det er for Stæder, som det bor udi, om det bor i Lejre eller i Befæstninger,
and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;
20 og hvad det er for et Land, om det er fedt eller magert; om der er Træer i det eller ej, og I skulle være frimodige og tage af Landets Frugt; men det var paa den Tid, da de første Vindruer bleve modne.
and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it, or not. And take courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first grapes.
21 Og de gik op og bespejdede Landet, fra Zins Ørk indtil Rehob, til henimod Hamatli.
And they went up, and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath.
22 Derefter gik de op i Sydlandet og kom til Hebron, og der var Ahiman, Sesai og Talmai, Anaks Børn; men Hebron var bygget syv Aar førend Zoan i Ægypten.
And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
23 Og de kom indtil Eskols Bæk og afskare der en Vinkvist og en Vindrueklasse, og to bare den paa en Stang, og de toge af Granatæblerne og af Figenerne.
And they came as far as the valley of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a pole; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 Dette Sted kaldte man Eskols Bæk for den Klases Skyld, som Israels Børn afskare der.
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the grapes which the children of Israel had cut down there.
25 Og de vendte tilbage fra at bespejde Landet, der fyrretyve Dage vare til Ende.
And they returned from searching out the land after forty days.
26 Og de gik og kom til Mose og til Aron og til al Israels Børns Menighed, til Parans Ørk til Kades; og de bragte dem og al Menigheden Svar igen, og de lode dem se Landets Frugt.
And they came, and went to Moses and to Aaron, and to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to the whole assembly; and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27 Og de fortalte ham og sagde: Vi kom til Landet, som du sendte os til, og det flyder endog med Mælk og Honning, og denne er Frugten derfra.
And they told him, and said, We came to the land to which thou didst send us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Men dog, det er et stærkt Folk, som bor i Landet, og Stæderne ere faste og saare store, vi have ogsaa set Anaks Børn der.
Only, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, very great; moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 Amalek bor sydligt i Landet, og Hethiten og Jebusiten og Amoriten bor paa Bjerget, og Kananiten bor ved Havet og ved Jordanens Bred.
Amalek dwells in the land of the south; and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.
30 Men Kaleb beroligede Folket overfor Mose og sagde: Lader os dog gaa op og indtage det til Ejendom; thi vi kunne lettelig bemægtige os det.
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up boldly and possess it, for we are well able to do it.
31 Men de Mænd, som vare dragne op med ham, sagde: Vi formaa ikke at drage op mod det Folk; thi det er stærkere end vi.
But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
32 Og de bragte ondt Rygte om Landet, hvilket de havde bespejdet, ud til Israels Børn og sagde: Det Land, som vi gik igennem at bespejde det, det er et Land, som fortærer sine Indbyggere, og alt det Folk, som vi saa deri, er høje Folk.
And they brought to the children of Israel an evil report of the land which they had searched out, saying, The land, which we have passed through to search it out, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we have seen in it are men of great stature;
33 Og vi saa der Kæmperne, Anaks Børn, en Kæmpeslægt; og vi vare for vore Øjne som Græshopper, og vi vare ligesaa for deres Øjne.
and there have we seen giants — the sons of Anak are of the giants — and we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so we were also in their sight.
