Story in this passage
The spies report on Canaan
At God’s command, Moses sends one leader from each tribe to explore Canaan. The men return with fruit and describe a fertile land, but most of them also emphasize fortified cities and powerful inhabitants. Caleb urges Israel to go up and take the land, while the other spies spread fear and describe the people as grasshoppers before the giants.
- Setting
- Israel’s wilderness camp near the border of Canaan, the land promised to their ancestors.
- Main events
- Twelve men explore the land for forty days, bring back fruit, and give conflicting reports about whether Israel can enter it.
- Why it matters
- The report exposes Israel’s fear and prepares for the rebellion and delayed entry that follow in Numbers 14.
This overview paraphrases the cited passage in the World English Bible.
