במדבר 13
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ | 1 |
And the LORD spoke to 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 thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה מִמִּדְבַּר פָּארָן עַל־פִּי יְהוָה כֻּלָּם אֲנָשִׁים רָאשֵׁי בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵֽמָּה׃ | 3 |
And Moses, by the commandment of the LORD, sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men [were] heads of the children of Israel.
| וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹתָם לְמַטֵּה רְאוּבֵן שַׁמּוּעַ בֶּן־זַכּֽוּר׃ | 4 |
And these [were] their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
| לְמַטֵּה שִׁמְעוֹן שָׁפָט בֶּן־חוֹרִֽי׃ | 5 |
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
| לְמַטֵּה יְהוּדָה כָּלֵב בֶּן־יְפֻנֶּֽה׃ | 6 |
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
| לְמַטֵּה יִשָּׂשכָר יִגְאָל בֶּן־יוֹסֵֽף׃ | 7 |
Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
| לְמַטֵּה אֶפְרָיִם הוֹשֵׁעַ בִּן־נֽוּן׃ | 8 |
Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
| לְמַטֵּה בִנְיָמִן פַּלְטִי בֶּן־רָפֽוּא׃ | 9 |
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
| לְמַטֵּה זְבוּלֻן גַּדִּיאֵל בֶּן־סוֹדִֽי׃ | 10 |
Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
| לְמַטֵּה יוֹסֵף לְמַטֵּה מְנַשֶּׁה גַּדִּי בֶּן־סוּסִֽי׃ | 11 |
Of the tribe of Joseph, [namely], of the tribe of Manassah, Gaddi the son of Susi.
| לְמַטֵּה דָן עַמִּיאֵל בֶּן־גְּמַלִּֽי׃ | 12 |
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
| לְמַטֵּה אָשֵׁר סְתוּר בֶּן־מִיכָאֵֽל׃ | 13 |
Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
| לְמַטֵּה נַפְתָּלִי נַחְבִּי בֶּן־וָפְסִֽי׃ | 14 |
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
| לְמַטֵּה גָד גְּאוּאֵל בֶּן־מָכִֽי׃ | 15 |
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the 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 explore the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה לָתוּר אֶת־אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם עֲלוּ זֶה בַּנֶּגֶב וַעֲלִיתֶם אֶת־הָהָֽר׃ | 17 |
And Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go ye up this [way] southward, and ascend the mountain:
| וּרְאִיתֶם אֶת־הָאָרֶץ מַה־הִוא וְאֶת־הָעָם הַיֹּשֵׁב עָלֶיהָ הֶחָזָק הוּא הֲרָפֶה הַמְעַט הוּא אִם־רָֽב׃ | 18 |
And see the land, what it [is]; and the people that dwell therein, whether they [are] strong or weak, 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] that they dwell in, whether it [is] good or bad; and what cities [they are] that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
| 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 it [is] fertile or barren, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the time of the first ripe grapes.
| וַֽיַּעֲלוּ וַיָּתֻרוּ אֶת־הָאָרֶץ מִמִּדְבַּר־צִן עַד־רְחֹב לְבֹא חֲמָֽת׃ | 21 |
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
| וַיַּעֲלוּ בַנֶּגֶב וַיָּבֹא עַד־חֶבְרוֹן וְשָׁם אֲחִימַן שֵׁשַׁי וְתַלְמַי יְלִידֵי הָעֲנָק וְחֶבְרוֹן שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים נִבְנְתָה לִפְנֵי צֹעַן מִצְרָֽיִם׃ | 22 |
And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
| וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־נַחַל אֶשְׁכֹּל וַיִּכְרְתוּ מִשָּׁם זְמוֹרָה וְאֶשְׁכּוֹל עֲנָבִים אֶחָד וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ בַמּוֹט בִּשְׁנָיִם וּמִן־הָרִמֹּנִים וּמִן־הַתְּאֵנִֽים׃ | 23 |
And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
| לַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא קָרָא נַחַל אֶשְׁכּוֹל עַל אֹדוֹת הָֽאֶשְׁכּוֹל אֲשֶׁר־כָּרְתוּ מִשָּׁם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 24 |
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
| וַיָּשֻׁבוּ מִתּוּר הָאָרֶץ מִקֵּץ אַרְבָּעִים יֽוֹם׃ | 25 |
And they returned from exploring the land after forty days.
| 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׃ | 26 |
And 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.
| וַיְסַפְּרוּ־לוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ בָּאנוּ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר שְׁלַחְתָּנוּ וְגַם זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבַשׁ הִוא וְזֶה־פִּרְיָֽהּ׃ | 27 |
And they told him, and said, We came to the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.
| אֶפֶס כִּֽי־עַז הָעָם הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּאָרֶץ וְהֶֽעָרִים בְּצֻרוֹת גְּדֹלֹת מְאֹד וְגַם־יְלִדֵי הֽ͏ָעֲנָק רָאִינוּ שָֽׁם׃ | 28 |
Nevertheless, the people [are] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.
| עֲמָלֵק יוֹשֵׁב בְּאֶרֶץ הַנֶּגֶב וְהַֽחִתִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי וְהָֽאֱמֹרִי יוֹשֵׁב בָּהָר וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִי יֹשֵׁב עַל־הַיָּם וְעַל יַד הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃ | 29 |
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
| וַיַּהַס כָּלֵב אֶת־הָעָם אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וַיֹּאמֶר עָלֹה נַעֲלֶה וְיָרַשְׁנוּ אֹתָהּ כִּֽי־יָכוֹל נוּכַל לָֽהּ׃ | 30 |
And 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.
| וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־עָלוּ עִמּוֹ אָֽמְרוּ לֹא נוּכַל לַעֲלוֹת אֶל־הָעָם כִּֽי־חָזָק הוּא מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 31 |
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.
| 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׃ | 32 |
And they brought an evil report of the land which they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, The land through which we have passed to search it, [is] a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it, [are] men of a great stature.
| וְשָׁם רָאִינוּ אֶת־הַנְּפִילִים בְּנֵי עֲנָק מִן־הַנְּפִלִים וַנְּהִי בְעֵינֵינוּ כּֽ͏ַחֲגָבִים וְכֵן הָיִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃ | 33 |
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [who come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
