Numbers 13
1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ |
2 "Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them."
| שְׁלַח־לְךָ אֲנָשִׁים וְיָתֻרוּ אֶת־אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי נֹתֵן לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ אֶחָד אִישׁ אֶחָד לְמַטֵּה אֲבֹתָיו תִּשְׁלָחוּ כֹּל נָשִׂיא בָהֶֽם׃ |
3 Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה מִמִּדְבַּר פָּארָן עַל־פִּי יְהוָה כֻּלָּם אֲנָשִׁים רָאשֵׁי בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵֽמָּה׃ |
4 These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zakkur.
| וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹתָם לְמַטֵּה רְאוּבֵן שַׁמּוּעַ בֶּן־זַכּֽוּר׃ |
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
| לְמַטֵּה שִׁמְעוֹן שָׁפָט בֶּן־חוֹרִֽי׃ |
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
| לְמַטֵּה יְהוּדָה כָּלֵב בֶּן־יְפֻנֶּֽה׃ |
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
| לְמַטֵּה יִשָּׂשכָר יִגְאָל בֶּן־יוֹסֵֽף׃ |
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.
| לְמַטֵּה אֶפְרָיִם הוֹשֵׁעַ בִּן־נֽוּן׃ |
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
| לְמַטֵּה בִנְיָמִן פַּלְטִי בֶּן־רָפֽוּא׃ |
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
| לְמַטֵּה זְבוּלֻן גַּדִּיאֵל בֶּן־סוֹדִֽי׃ |
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
| לְמַטֵּה יוֹסֵף לְמַטֵּה מְנַשֶּׁה גַּדִּי בֶּן־סוּסִֽי׃ |
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
| לְמַטֵּה דָן עַמִּיאֵל בֶּן־גְּמַלִּֽי׃ |
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
| לְמַטֵּה אָשֵׁר סְתוּר בֶּן־מִיכָאֵֽל׃ |
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
| לְמַטֵּה נַפְתָּלִי נַחְבִּי בֶּן־וָפְסִֽי׃ |
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Maki.
| לְמַטֵּה גָד גְּאוּאֵל בֶּן־מָכִֽי׃ |
16 These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
| אֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת הָֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־שָׁלַח מֹשֶׁה לָתוּר אֶת־הָאָרֶץ וַיִּקְרָא מֹשֶׁה לְהוֹשֵׁעַ בִּן־נוּן יְהוֹשֻֽׁעַ׃ |
17 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way by the Negev, and go up into the hill country:
| וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה לָתוּר אֶת־אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם עֲלוּ זֶה בַּנֶּגֶב וַעֲלִיתֶם אֶת־הָהָֽר׃ |
18 and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
| וּרְאִיתֶם אֶת־הָאָרֶץ מַה־הִוא וְאֶת־הָעָם הַיֹּשֵׁב עָלֶיהָ הֶחָזָק הוּא הֲרָפֶה הַמְעַט הוּא אִם־רָֽב׃ |
19 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;
| וּמָה הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־הוּא יֹשֵׁב בָּהּ הֲטוֹבָה הִוא אִם־רָעָה וּמָה הֶֽעָרִים אֲשֶׁר־הוּא יוֹשֵׁב בָּהֵנָּה הַבְּמַֽחֲנִים אִם בְּמִבְצָרִֽים׃ |
20 and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood in it, or not. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes."
| וּמָה הָאָרֶץ הַשְּׁמֵנָה הִוא אִם־רָזָה הֲיֵֽשׁ־בָּהּ עֵץ אִם־אַיִן וְהִתְחַזַּקְתֶּם וּלְקַחְתֶּם מִפְּרִי הָאָרֶץ וְהַיָּמִים יְמֵי בִּכּוּרֵי עֲנָבִֽים׃ |
21 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to Lebo Hamath.
| וַֽיַּעֲלוּ וַיָּתֻרוּ אֶת־הָאָרֶץ מִמִּדְבַּר־צִן עַד־רְחֹב לְבֹא חֲמָֽת׃ |
22 They went up by the Negev, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
| וַיַּעֲלוּ בַנֶּגֶב וַיָּבֹא עַד־חֶבְרוֹן וְשָׁם אֲחִימַן שֵׁשַׁי וְתַלְמַי יְלִידֵי הָעֲנָק וְחֶבְרוֹן שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים נִבְנְתָה לִפְנֵי צֹעַן מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
23 They came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes on it, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
| וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־נַחַל אֶשְׁכֹּל וַיִּכְרְתוּ מִשָּׁם זְמוֹרָה וְאֶשְׁכּוֹל עֲנָבִים אֶחָד וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ בַמּוֹט בִּשְׁנָיִם וּמִן־הָרִמֹּנִים וּמִן־הַתְּאֵנִֽים׃ |
24 That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
| לַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא קָרָא נַחַל אֶשְׁכּוֹל עַל אֹדוֹת הָֽאֶשְׁכּוֹל אֲשֶׁר־כָּרְתוּ מִשָּׁם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
25 They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
| וַיָּשֻׁבוּ מִתּוּר הָאָרֶץ מִקֵּץ אַרְבָּעִים יֽוֹם׃ |
26 They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
| וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶל־כָּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־מִדְבַּר פָּארָן קָדֵשָׁה וַיָּשִׁיבוּ אוֹתָם דָּבָר וְאֶת־כָּל־הָעֵדָה וַיַּרְאוּם אֶת־פְּרִי הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
27 They told him, and said, "We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.
| וַיְסַפְּרוּ־לוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ בָּאנוּ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר שְׁלַחְתָּנוּ וְגַם זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבַשׁ הִוא וְזֶה־פִּרְיָֽהּ׃ |
28 However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there.
| אֶפֶס כִּֽי־עַז הָעָם הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּאָרֶץ וְהֶֽעָרִים בְּצֻרוֹת גְּדֹלֹת מְאֹד וְגַם־יְלִדֵי הֽ͏ָעֲנָק רָאִינוּ שָֽׁם׃ |
29 Amalek dwells in the land of the Negev: and the Hethites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan."
| עֲמָלֵק יוֹשֵׁב בְּאֶרֶץ הַנֶּגֶב וְהַֽחִתִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי וְהָֽאֱמֹרִי יוֹשֵׁב בָּהָר וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִי יֹשֵׁב עַל־הַיָּם וְעַל יַד הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃ |
30 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."
| וַיַּהַס כָּלֵב אֶת־הָעָם אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וַיֹּאמֶר עָלֹה נַעֲלֶה וְיָרַשְׁנוּ אֹתָהּ כִּֽי־יָכוֹל נוּכַל לָֽהּ׃ |
31 But the men who went up with him said, "We aren't able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."
| וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־עָלוּ עִמּוֹ אָֽמְרוּ לֹא נוּכַל לַעֲלוֹת אֶל־הָעָם כִּֽי־חָזָק הוּא מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ |
32 They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
| וַיּוֹצִיאוּ דִּבַּת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר תָּרוּ אֹתָהּ אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר עָבַרְנוּ בָהּ לָתוּר אֹתָהּ אֶרֶץ אֹכֶלֶת יוֹשְׁבֶיהָ הִוא וְכָל־הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־רָאִינוּ בְתוֹכָהּ אַנְשֵׁי מִדּֽוֹת׃ |
33 There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
| וְשָׁם רָאִינוּ אֶת־הַנְּפִילִים בְּנֵי עֲנָק מִן־הַנְּפִלִים וַנְּהִי בְעֵינֵינוּ כּֽ͏ַחֲגָבִים וְכֵן הָיִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃ |
