The Book of Numbers, Chapter 13ΑΡΙΘΜΟΙ ΙΓ′

καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

ἀπόστειλον σεαυτῷ ἄνδρας καὶ κατασκεψάσθωσαν τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων ἣν ἐγὼ δίδωμι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ εἰς κατάσχεσιν ἄνδρα ἕνα κατὰ φυλὴν κατὰ δήμους πατριῶν αὐτῶν ἀποστελεῖς αὐτούς πάντα ἀρχηγὸν ἐξ αὐτῶν

Send out for yourself men, and let them spy out the land of the Canaanites, which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession; one man for each tribe, according to the clans of their ancestral houses you shall send them, every one a chief from among them.

καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς Μωυσῆς ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου Φαραν διὰ φωνῆς κυρίου πάντες ἄνδρες ἀρχηγοὶ υἱῶν Ισραηλ οὗτοι

And Moses sent them out from the wilderness of Paran by the word of the LORD; all of them men who were chiefs of the sons of Israel.

καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν τῆς φυλῆς Ρουβην Σαλαμιηλ υἱὸς Ζακχουρ

And these are their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Salamiel son of Zakchour.

τῆς φυλῆς Συμεων Σαφατ υἱὸς Σουρι

Of the tribe of Simeon, Saphat son of Souri.

τῆς φυλῆς Γαδ Γουδιηλ υἱὸς Μακχι

ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἀνδρῶν οὓς ἀπέστειλεν Μωυσῆς κατασκέψασθαι τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν Μωυσῆς τὸν Αυση υἱὸν Ναυη Ἰησοῦν

These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses named Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς Μωυσῆς κατασκέψασθαι τὴν γῆν Χανααν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς ἀνάβητε ταύτῃ τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἀναβήσεσθε εἰς τὸ ὄρος

And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and he said to them, 'Go up by this wilderness, and you shall go up into the hill country.'

καὶ ὄψεσθε τὴν γῆν τίς ἐστιν καὶ τὸν λαὸν τὸν ἐγκαθήμενον ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς εἰ ἰσχυρότερός ἐστιν ἢ ἀσθενής εἰ ὀλίγοι εἰσὶν ἢ πολλοί

And you shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells upon it, whether it is strong or weak, whether they are few or many.

καὶ τίς ἡ γῆ εἰς ἣν οὗτοι ἐγκάθηνται ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς εἰ καλή ἐστιν ἢ πονηρά καὶ τίνες αἱ πόλεις εἰς ἃς οὗτοι κατοικοῦσιν ἐν αὐταῖς εἰ ἐν τειχήρεσιν ἢ ἐν ἀτειχίστοις

And what the land is, into which they settle upon it, whether it is good or bad; and what the cities are, into which they dwell in them, whether in walled cities or in unwalled.

καὶ τίς ἡ γῆ εἰ πίων ἢ παρειμένη εἰ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῇ δένδρα ἢ οὔ καὶ προσκαρτερήσαντες λήμψεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν τῆς γῆς καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι ἡμέραι ἔαρος πρόδρομοι σταφυλῆς

And what the land is, whether rich or slack, whether there are trees in it or not; and, persevering, you shall take from the fruits of the land. Now the days were the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.

καὶ ἀναβάντες κατεσκέψαντο τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου Σιν ἕως Ρααβ εἰσπορευομένων Εφααθ

And going up, they spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, as one enters Hamath.

καὶ ἀνέβησαν κατὰ τὴν ἔρημον καὶ ἦλθον ἕως Χεβρων καὶ ἐκεῖ Αχιμαν καὶ Σεσσι καὶ Θελαμιν γενεαὶ Εναχ καὶ Χεβρων ἑπτὰ ἔτεσιν ᾠκοδομήθη πρὸ τοῦ Τάνιν Αἰγύπτου

And they went up by the wilderness and came as far as Hebron; and there were Ahiman and Sesai and Thelamin, the clans of Anak; and Hebron was built seven years before Tanis of Egypt.

καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἕως Φάραγγος βότρυος καὶ κατεσκέψαντο αὐτήν καὶ ἔκοψαν ἐκεῖθεν κλῆμα καὶ βότρυν σταφυλῆς ἕνα ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦραν αὐτὸν ἐπ᾿ ἀναφορεῦσιν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ῥοῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν συκῶν

And they came to the Ravine of the Cluster and spied it out, and they cut from there a branch and a single cluster of grapes upon it, and they bore it on a pole; and (they took) from the pomegranates and from the figs.

τὸν τόπον ἐκεῖνον ἐπωνόμασαν Φάραγξ βότρυος διὰ τὸν βότρυν ὃν ἔκοψαν ἐκεῖθεν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ

That place they named 'Ravine of the Cluster,' on account of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.

καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἐκεῖθεν κατασκεψάμενοι τὴν γῆν μετὰ τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας

And they returned from there, having spied out the land, after forty days.

καὶ πορευθέντες ἦλθον πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ααρων καὶ πρὸς πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν υἱῶν Ισραηλ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Φαραν Καδης καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτοῖς ῥῆμα καὶ πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ καὶ ἔδειξαν τὸν καρπὸν τῆς γῆς

And going, they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, into the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and they showed the fruit of the land.

καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπαν ἤλθαμεν εἰς τὴν γῆν εἰς ἣν ἀπέστειλας ἡμᾶς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι καὶ οὗτος ὁ καρπὸς αὐτῆς

And they related to him and said, 'We came into the land into which you sent us, a land flowing with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.'

ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ὅτι θρασὺ τὸ ἔθνος τὸ κατοικοῦν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ αἱ πόλεις ὀχυραὶ τετειχισμέναι καὶ μεγάλαι σφόδρα καὶ τὴν γενεὰν Εναχ ἑωράκαμεν ἐκεῖ

But — except that the nation dwelling upon it is bold, and the cities are strong, walled, and very great; and we saw there the clan of Anak.

καὶ Αμαληκ κατοικεῖ ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ πρὸς νότον καὶ ὁ Χετταῖος καὶ ὁ Ευαῖος καὶ ὁ Ιεβουσαῖος καὶ ὁ Αμορραῖος κατοικεῖ ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ καὶ ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικεῖ παρὰ θάλασσαν καὶ παρὰ τὸν Ιορδάνην ποταμόν

And Amalek dwells in the land toward the south, and the Hittite and the Hivite and the Jebusite and the Amorite dwell in the hill country, and the Canaanite dwells by the sea and along the Jordan river.

καὶ κατεσιώπησεν Χαλεβ τὸν λαὸν πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ οὐχί ἀλλὰ ἀναβάντες ἀναβησόμεθα καὶ κατακληρονομήσομεν αὐτήν ὅτι δυνατοὶ δυνησόμεθα πρὸς αὐτούς

And Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said to him, 'Not so! But going up we shall go up and take possession of it, for we are surely able to prevail against them.'

καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ συναναβάντες μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἶπαν οὐκ ἀναβαίνομεν ὅτι οὐ μὴ δυνώμεθα ἀναβῆναι πρὸς τὸ ἔθνος ὅτι ἰσχυρότερόν ἐστιν ἡμῶν μᾶλλον

But the men who had gone up with him said, 'We are not going up, for we shall by no means be able to go up against the nation, for it is much stronger than we.'

καὶ ἐξήνεγκαν ἔκστασιν τῆς γῆς ἣν κατεσκέψαντο αὐτήν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ λέγοντες τὴν γῆν ἣν παρήλθομεν αὐτὴν κατασκέψασθαι γῆ κατέσθουσα τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς ἐστιν πᾶς ὁ λαός ὃν ἑωράκαμεν ἐν αὐτῇ ἄνδρες ὑπερμήκεις

And they brought out a scare-report of the land which they had spied out, to the sons of Israel, saying, 'The land which we passed through to spy it out — it is a land that devours those who dwell upon it; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of enormous height.'

καὶ ἐκεῖ ἑωράκαμεν τοὺς γίγαντας καὶ ἦμεν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ ἀκρίδες ἀλλὰ καὶ οὕτως ἦμεν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν

And there we saw the giants, and we were before them like grasshoppers; indeed, even so we were in their sight.
