民数记 第 13 章
2「你打发人去窥探我所赐给以色列人的迦南地，他们每支派中要打发一个人，都要作首领的。」
2Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
3摩西就照耶和华的吩咐从巴兰的旷野打发他们去；他们都是以色列人的族长。
3And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
4他们的名字：属吕便支派的有撒刻的儿子沙母亚。
4And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
11约瑟的子孙，属玛拿西支派的有稣西的儿子迦底。
11Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
16这就是摩西所打发、窥探那地之人的名字。摩西就称嫩的儿子何希阿为约书亚。
16These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
17摩西打发他们去窥探迦南地，说：「你们从南地上山地去，
17And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
18看那地如何，其中所住的民是强是弱，是多是少，
18And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
19所住之地是好是歹，所住之处是营盘是坚城。
19And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
20又看那地土是肥美是瘠薄，其中有树木没有。你们要放开胆量，把那地的果子带些来。」（那时正是葡萄初熟的时候。）
20And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
21他们上去窥探那地，从寻的旷野到利合，直到哈马口。
21So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
22他们从南地上去，到了希伯 ；在那里有亚衲族人亚希幔、示筛、挞买。（原来希伯 城被建造比埃及的锁安城早七年。）
22And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23他们到了以实各谷，从那里砍了葡萄树的一枝，上头有一挂葡萄，两个人用杠抬着，又带了些石榴和无花果来。（
23And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24因为以色列人从那里砍来的那挂葡萄，所以那地方叫做以实各谷。）
24The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
26到了巴兰旷野的加低斯，见摩西、亚伦，并以色列的全会众，回报摩西、亚伦，并全会众，又把那地的果子给他们看；
26And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27又告诉摩西说：「我们到了你所打发我们去的那地，果然是流奶与蜜之地；这就是那地的果子。
27And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28然而住那地的民强壮，城邑也坚固宽大，并且我们在那里看见了亚衲族的人。
28Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29亚玛力人住在南地；赫人、耶布斯人、亚摩利人住在山地；迦南人住在海边并约旦河旁。」
29The 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.
30迦勒在摩西面前安抚百姓，说：「我们立刻上去得那地吧！我们足能得胜。」
30And 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.
31但那些和他同去的人说：「我们不能上去攻击那民，因为他们比我们强壮。」
31But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32探子中有人论到所窥探之地，向以色列人报恶信，说：「我们所窥探、经过之地是吞吃居民之地，我们在那里所看见的人民都身量高大。
32And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
