Moses Sends Twelve Spies To Canaan
Moses sent 12 spies, one from each of the 12 tribes of
Israel, into Canaan to explore the land. The spies returned
with glowing reports of the fruitfulness of the land. They
brought back samples of its figs and pomegranates and a
cluster of grapes so large that it had to be carried
between two men on a pole (Num. 13:1-25). The majority of
the spies, however, voted against the invasion of the land
because of the huge inhabitants of Canaan, and fortified
cities "walled to heaven". It was a report of doom. Yet two
of the spies, Joshua and Caleb, brought back a report full
of faith and encouragement.
