¹ 摩西從摩押平原登尼波山，上了那與耶利哥相對的毘斯迦山頂。耶和華把基列全地直到但，

² 拿弗他利全地，以法蓮、瑪拿西的地，猶大全地直到西海，

³ 南地和棕樹城耶利哥的平原，直到瑣珥，都指給他看。

⁴ 耶和華對他說：這就是我向亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許之地，說：我必將這地賜給你的後裔。現在我使你眼睛看見了，你卻不得過到那裡去。

⁵ 於是，耶和華的僕人摩西死在摩押地，正如耶和華所說的。

⁶ 耶和華將他埋葬在摩押地、伯毘珥對面的谷中，只是到今日沒有人知道他的墳墓。

⁷ 摩西死的時候年一百二十歲；眼目沒有昏花，精神沒有衰敗。

⁸ 以色列人在摩押平原為摩西哀哭了三十日，為摩西居喪哀哭的日子就滿了。

⁹ 嫩的兒子約書亞；因為摩西曾按手在他頭上，就被智慧的靈充滿，以色列人便聽從他，照著耶和華吩咐摩西的行了。

¹⁰ 以後以色列中再沒有興起先知像摩西的。他是耶和華面對面所認識的。

¹¹ 耶和華打發他在埃及地向法老和他的一切臣僕，並他的全地，行各樣神蹟奇事，

¹² 又在以色列.眾人眼前顯大能的手，行一切大而可畏的事。

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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."

³ Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yahweh: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

⁴ These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

⁵ Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.

⁶ Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

⁷ Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.

⁸ Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.

⁹ Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.

¹⁰ Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.

¹¹ Of the tribe of Joseph, [namely], of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.

¹² Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.

¹³ Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.

¹⁴ Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.

¹⁵ Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

¹⁶ These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.

¹⁷ Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way by the South, and Go up into the hill country:

¹⁸ and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;

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;

²⁰ and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes."

²¹ So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.

²² They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

²³ They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two; [they brought] also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

²⁴ That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.

²⁵ They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.

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.

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.

²⁸ However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

²⁹ Amalek dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan."

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."

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."

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.

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."
