Sende thou men out to search the lande of Canaan which I giue vnto the children of Israel: of euery tribe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, such as are all rulers among them.

17 Og Moses sendte dem af Sted for at undersøge Kana'ans Land. Og han sagde til dem: »Drag herfra op i Sydlandet og drag op i Bjergene
So Moses sent them to spie out the lande of Canaan, and said vnto them, Go vp this way toward the South, and go vp into the moutaines,
18 og se, hvordan Landet er, og om Folket, som bor der, er stærkt eller svagt, faatalligt eller talrigt,
And consider the land what it is, and the people that dwel therein, whether they be strong or weake, either fewe or many,
19 om Landet, de bor i, er godt eller daarligt, og om Byerne, de bor i, er Teltlejre eller Fæstninger,
Also what the lande is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad: and what cities they be, that they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents, or in walled townes:
20 og om Landet er fedt eller magert, om der findes Træer deri eller ej. Vær ved godt Mod og tag noget af Landets Frugt med tilbage!« Det var netop ved den Tid, de første Druer var modne.
And what the land is: whether it be fat or leane, whether there be trees therein, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruite of the lande (for then was the time of the first ripe grapes)
21 Saa drog de af Sted og undersøgte Landet lige fra Zins Ørken til Rehob, Egnen hen imod Hamat.
So they went vp, and searched out the lande, from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, to go to Hamath,
22 Saa begav de sig op i Sydlandet og kom til Hebron; der boede Ahiman, Sjesjaj og Talmaj, Anaks Efterkommere. Men Hebron var grundlagt syv Aar før Zoan i Ægypten.
And they ascended toward the South, and came vnto Hebron, where were Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the sonnes of Anak. And Hebron was built seuen yeere before Zoan in Egypt.
23 Da de naaede Esjkoldalen, afskar de en Ranke med en Drueklase, som der maatte to Mand til at bære paa en Bærestang, og plukkede nogle Granatæbler og Figener.
Then they came to the riuer of Eshcol, and cut downe thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it vpon a barre betweene two, and brought of the pomegranates and of the figges.
24 Man kaldte dette Sted Esjkoldalen med Hentydning til den Drueklase, Israeliterne der skar af.
That place was called the riuer Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes, which the children of Israel cut downe thence.
25 Efter fyrretyve Dages Forløb vendte de tilbage efter at have undersøgt Landet;
Then after fourtie dayes, they turned againe from searching of the land.
26 og de kom til Moses og Aron og hele Israeliternes Menighed i Parans Ørken i Kadesj og aflagde Beretning for dem og hele Menigheden og viste dem Landets Frugt.
And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron and vnto al the Congregation of the children of Israel, in the wildernesse of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought to the, and to all the Congregation tydings, and shewed them the fruite of the lande.
27 De fortalte ham: »Vi kom til Landet, du sendte os til; det er virkelig et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, og her er Flugt derfra;
And they tolde him, and saide, We came vnto the land whither thou hast sent vs, and surely it floweth with milke and honie: and here is of the fruite of it.
28 men stærkt er Folket, som bor i Landet, og Byerne er befæstede og meget store; ja, vi saa ogsaa Efterkommere af Anak der.
Neuerthelesse the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and exceeding great: and moreouer, we sawe the sonnes of Anak there.
29 Amalek bor i Sydlandet, Hetiterne, Jebusiterne og Amoriterne i Bjerglandet og Kana'anæerne ved Havet og langs Jordan.«
The Amalekites dwell in the South countrey, and the Hittites, and the Iebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountaines, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Iorden.
30 Da søgte Kaleb at bringe Folket til Tavshed over for Moses og sagde: »Lad os kun drage op og underlægge os det, thi vi kan sikkert tage det!«
Then Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and saide, Let vs go vp at once, and possesse it: for vndoubtedly we shall ouercome it.
31 Men de Mænd, der havde været med ham deroppe, sagde: »Vi kan ikke drage op imod dette Folk, thi det er stærkere end vi!«
But the men, that went vp with him, saide, we be not able to goe vp against the people: for they are stronger then we.
32 Og de talte nedsættende til Israeliterne om Landet, som de havde undersøgt, og sagde: »Landet, som vi har rejst igennem og undersøgt, er et Land, der fortærer sine Indbyggere, og alle de Folk, vi saa der, var kæmpestore.
So they brought vp an euill report of the land which they had searched for the children of Israel, saying, The lande which we haue gone through to search it out, is a land that eateth vp the inhabitants thereof: for all the people that we sawe in it, are men of great stature.
33 Vi saa der Kæmperne — Anaks Sønner, der er af Kæmpeslægten — og vi forekom baade os selv og dem som Græshopper!«
For there we sawe gyants, the sonnes of Anak, which come of the gyants, so that we seemed in our sight like grashoppers: and so wee were in their sight.
