Moses selects one leader from each tribe and instructs them to assess the land’s quality, the strength of its people, and whether the cities have fortresses. After forty days the spies report abundant resources but fortified, powerful inhabitants.","024 The Spies Explore Canaan  \nNumbers 13-14  \nEnglish Spiritual  \n024 The Spies Explore Canaan  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

That is the land which I have promised to give the Israelites.”  \nMoses chose 12 men, all tribal leaders, one from each of the 12 tribes.  \nMoses told them,“Look at the land and decide if is good and if the people there are strong or weak. Also, determine if the cities have fortresses.” Then he sent the 12 spies to explore the land of Canaan.  \nThey returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. They said,“The land is rich in fruit and livestock. But the people who dwell in the land are strong, and their cities are fortified and very large.”  \nOne of the spies, Caleb, quieted the people before Moses, and said,“Let us go attack it at once, and possess it. We are more than able to overcome it!”","cbCair6uwNtORk0k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair6uwNtORk0k","pdf",3290804,1,27,"English","en",105,"# The Command to Send Spies\n# Moses Chooses the Twelve Leaders\n# Instructions for Exploring Canaan\n# The Forty-Day Report","[{\"question\":\"Why were twelve tribal leaders sent as spies to Canaan?\",\"answer\":\"God instructed Moses to send leaders from each of the twelve ancestral tribes to explore Canaan, the land promised to the Israelites.\"},{\"question\":\"What instructions did Moses give the spies?\",\"answer\":\"Moses told them to examine the land, judge whether it was good, evaluate whether the people were strong or weak, and determine if the cities had fortresses.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the spies report after forty days?\",\"answer\":\"They said Canaan had rich fruit and livestock, but the people were strong and their cities were fortified and very large.\"}]",1784123597,68,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"the-spies-explore-canaan","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,53,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-spies-explore-canaan/79759/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":40,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-15",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Why were twelve tribal leaders sent as spies to Canaan?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"God instructed Moses to send leaders from each of the twelve ancestral tribes to explore Canaan, the land promised to the Israelites.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What instructions did Moses give the spies?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Moses told them to examine the land, judge whether it was good, evaluate whether the people were strong or weak, and determine if the cities had fortresses.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What did the spies report after forty days?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"They said Canaan had rich fruit and livestock, but the people were strong and their cities were fortified and very large.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,96,100,104,109,114,119,124,127,130,134],{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":93,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":120,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":122,"slug":123},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
