במדבר 13
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ | 1 |
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
| שְׁלַח־לְךָ אֲנָשִׁים וְיָתֻרוּ אֶת־אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי נֹתֵן לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ אֶחָד אִישׁ אֶחָד לְמַטֵּה אֲבֹתָיו תִּשְׁלָחוּ כֹּל נָשִׂיא בָהֶֽם׃ | 2 |
Send for thee men and let them spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving unto the sons of Israel, —one man each for the tribe of his fathers, shalt thou send, each one a prince among them.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה מִמִּדְבַּר פָּארָן עַל־פִּי יְהֹוָה כֻּלָּם אֲנָשִׁים רָאשֵׁי בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵֽמָּה׃ | 3 |
So then Moses sent them out of the desert of Paran, at the bidding of Yahweh, —all of them, great men, heads of the sons of Israel, were they.
| וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹתָם לְמַטֵּה רְאוּבֵן שַׁמּוּעַ בֶּן־זַכּֽוּר׃ | 4 |
And, these, are their names, —Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, son of Zaccur;
| לְמַטֵּה שִׁמְעוֹן שָׁפָט בֶּן־חוֹרִֽי׃ | 5 |
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, son of Hori;
| לְמַטֵּה יְהוּדָה כָּלֵב בֶּן־יְפֻנֶּֽה׃ | 6 |
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, son of Jephunneh;
| לְמַטֵּה יִשָּׂשכָר יִגְאָל בֶּן־יוֹסֵֽף׃ | 7 |
Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal, son of Joseph;
| לְמַטֵּה אֶפְרָיִם הוֹשֵׁעַ בִּן־נֽוּן׃ | 8 |
Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea, son of Nun;
| לְמַטֵּה בִנְיָמִן פַּלְטִי בֶּן־רָפֽוּא׃ | 9 |
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti, son of Raphu;
| לְמַטֵּה זְבוּלֻן גַּדִּיאֵל בֶּן־סוֹדִֽי׃ | 10 |
Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, son of Sodi;
| לְמַטֵּה יוֹסֵף לְמַטֵּה מְנַשֶּׁה גַּדִּי בֶּן־סוּסִֽי׃ | 11 |
Of the tribe of Joseph—of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi son of Susi;
| לְמַטֵּה דָן עַמִּיאֵל בֶּן־גְּמַלִּֽי׃ | 12 |
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, son of Gemalli;
| לְמַטֵּה אָשֵׁר סְתוּר בֶּן־מִיכָאֵֽל׃ | 13 |
Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur, son of Michael;
| לְמַטֵּה נַפְתָּלִי נַחְבִּי בֶּן־וׇפְסִֽי׃ | 14 |
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, son of Vophsi;
| לְמַטֵּה גָד גְּאוּאֵל בֶּן־מָכִֽי׃ | 15 |
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel, son of Machi.
| אֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת הָֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־שָׁלַח מֹשֶׁה לָתוּר אֶת־הָאָרֶץ וַיִּקְרָא מֹשֶׁה לְהוֹשֵׁעַ בִּן־נוּן יְהוֹשֻֽׁעַ׃ | 16 |
These, are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, —but Moses called Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה לָתוּר אֶת־אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם עֲלוּ זֶה בַּנֶּגֶב וַעֲלִיתֶם אֶת־הָהָֽר׃ | 17 |
So Moses sent them, to spy out the land of Canaan, —and said unto them—Go up, here in the South, Yea ye shall go up the mountain;
| וּרְאִיתֶם אֶת־הָאָרֶץ מַה־הִוא וְאֶת־הָעָם הַיֹּשֵׁב עָלֶיהָ הֶחָזָק הוּא הֲרָפֶה הַמְעַט הוּא אִם־רָֽב׃ | 18 |
And shall see the land, what it is, —And the people that dwell thereupon, Whether they are, strong, or weak, Whether they are, few or many;
| וּמָה הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־הוּא יֹשֵׁב בָּהּ הֲטוֹבָה הִוא אִם־רָעָה וּמָה הֶֽעָרִים אֲשֶׁר־הוּא יוֹשֵׁב בָּהֵנָּה הַבְּמַֽחֲנִים אִם בְּמִבְצָרִֽים׃ | 19 |
And what, the land, is, wherein they dwell, Whether it is, good, or, bad, —And the cities within which they dwell, Whether in camps or in strongholds;
| וּמָה הָאָרֶץ הַשְּׁמֵנָה הִוא אִם־רָזָה הֲיֵֽשׁ־בָּהּ עֵץ אִם־אַיִן וְהִתְחַזַּקְתֶּם וּלְקַחְתֶּם מִפְּרִי הָאָרֶץ וְהַיָּמִים יְמֵי בִּכּוּרֵי עֲנָבִֽים׃ | 20 |
And what the land is, Whether, fat, or, lean, Whether there is timber therein or is not, Then shall ye pluck up courage and take of the fruit of the land. Now the days, were the days of the first-fruits of grapes.
| וַֽיַּעֲלוּ וַיָּתֻרוּ אֶת־הָאָרֶץ מִמִּדְבַּר־צִן עַד־רְחֹב לְבֹא חֲמָֽת׃ | 21 |
So they went up, and spied out the land, —from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the entering in of Hamath.
| וַיַּעֲלוּ בַנֶּגֶב וַיָּבֹא עַד־חֶבְרוֹן וְשָׁם אֲחִימַן שֵׁשַׁי וְתַלְמַי יְלִידֵי הָעֲנָק וְחֶבְרוֹן שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים נִבְנְתָה לִפְנֵי צֹעַן מִצְרָֽיִם׃ | 22 |
Yea they went up in the South and entered as far as Hebron, and there, were Ahiman Sheshai and Talmai descendants of the Anak. Now, Hebron, was built seven years, before Zoan of Egypt.
| וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־נַחַל אֶשְׁכֹּל וַיִּכְרְתוּ מִשָּׁם זְמוֹרָה וְאֶשְׁכּוֹל עֲנָבִים אֶחָד וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ בַמּוֹט בִּשְׁנָיִם וּמִן־הָרִמֹּנִים וּמִן־הַתְּאֵנִֽים׃ | 23 |
And they entered as far as the ravine of Eschol, and cut down, from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and bare it on a pole between two, —also of the pomegranates and of the figs.
| לַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא קָרָא נַחַל אֶשְׁכּוֹל עַל אֹדוֹת הָֽאֶשְׁכּוֹל אֲשֶׁר־כָּרְתוּ מִשָּׁם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 24 |
That place, was called, The Ravine of Eschol ["Cluster-ravine"]—on account of the cluster, which was cut down from thence by the sons of Israel.
| וַיָּשֻׁבוּ מִתּוּר הָאָרֶץ מִקֵּץ אַרְבָּעִים יֽוֹם׃ | 25 |
And they returned from spying out the land, —at the end of forty days.
| וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶל־כׇּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־מִדְבַּר פָּארָן קָדֵשָׁה וַיָּשִׁיבוּ אֹתָם דָּבָר וְאֶת־כׇּל־הָעֵדָה וַיַּרְאוּם אֶת־פְּרִי הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 26 |
So they took their journey, and came in unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel into the wilderness of Paran, towards Kadesh, —and brought back word—unto them and unto all the assembly, and showed them the fruit of the land.
| וַיְסַפְּרוּ־לוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ בָּאנוּ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר שְׁלַחְתָּנוּ וְגַם זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבַשׁ הִוא וְזֶה־פִּרְיָֽהּ׃ | 27 |
And they recounted unto him, and said, We entered into the land whither thou didst send us, and surely it doth flow with milk and honey, and, this, is the fruit thereof.
| אֶפֶס כִּֽי־עַז הָעָם הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּאָרֶץ וְהֶֽעָרִים בְּצֻרוֹת גְּדֹלֹת מְאֹד וְגַם־יְלִדֵי הָֽעֲנָק רָאִינוּ שָֽׁם׃ | 28 |
Nevertheless surely mighty, are the people that dwell in the land, —and, the cities, walled in, exceeding great, moreover also, the descendants of the Anak, saw we there.
| עֲמָלֵק יוֹשֵׁב בְּאֶרֶץ הַנֶּגֶב וְהַֽחִתִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי וְהָֽאֱמֹרִי יוֹשֵׁב בָּהָר וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִי יוֹשֵׁב עַל־הַיָּם וְעַל יַד הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃ | 29 |
Amalek, dwelleth in the land of the South; And, the Hittite, and the Jebusite and the Amorite, dwell in the mountain And the Canaanite, dwelleth by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.
| וַיַּהַס כָּלֵב אֶת־הָעָם אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וַיֹּאמֶר עָלֹה נַעֲלֶה וְיָרַשְׁנוּ אֹתָהּ כִּֽי־יָכוֹל נוּכַל לָֽהּ׃ | 30 |
And Caleb stilled the people unto Moses, —and said unto them—Let us go straight up, and possess it, for we shall, surely prevail, against it.
| וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־עָלוּ עִמּוֹ אָֽמְרוּ לֹא נוּכַל לַעֲלוֹת אֶל־הָעָם כִּֽי־חָזָק הוּא מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 31 |
But the men who went up with him said, We cannot go up against the people, —for stronger, are they than we.
| וַיֹּצִיאוּ דִּבַּת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר תָּרוּ אֹתָהּ אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר עָבַרְנוּ בָהּ לָתוּר אֹתָהּ אֶרֶץ אֹכֶלֶת יוֹשְׁבֶיהָ הִוא וְכׇל־הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־רָאִינוּ בְתוֹכָהּ אַנְשֵׁי מִדּֽוֹת׃ | 32 |
So they sent forth a rumour of the land which they had spied out, among the sons of Israel, saying, —As touching the land through which we passed to spy it out, it is, land that eateth up them who dwell therein, And all the people that we saw in the midst thereof, were men of great stature.
| וְשָׁם רָאִינוּ אֶת־הַנְּפִילִים בְּנֵי עֲנָק מִן־הַנְּפִלִים וַנְּהִי בְעֵינֵינוּ כַּֽחֲגָבִים וְכֵן הָיִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃ | 33 |
And, there, saw we the giants, sons of Anak [descended] of the giants, —And we were in our own eyes, as grass-hoppers, And, so, were we in their eyes.
