Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord Spake unto Moses,.... When in the wilderness of Paran, either at Rithmah or Kadesh; this was on the twenty ninth day of the month Sivan, on which day, the Jews say o, the spies were sent to search the land, which was a scheme of the Israelites' own devising, and which they first proposed to Moses, who approved of it as prudential and political, at least he gave his assent unto it to please the people, and carried the affair to the Lord, and consulted him about it; who, rather permitting than approving, gave the following order; for the motion carried in it a good deal of unbelief, calling in question whether the land was so good as had been represented unto them, fearing it was not accessible, and that it would be difficult to get into it, and were desirous of knowing the best way of getting into it before they proceeded any further; all which were unnecessary, if they would have fully trusted in the Lord, in his word, promise, power, providence, and guidance; who had told them it was a land flowing with milk and honey; that he would show them the way to it, by going before them in a pillar of cloud and fire; that he would assuredly bring them into it, having espied it for them, and promised it unto them; so that there was no need on any account for them to send spies before them; however, to gratify them in this point, he assented to it:

saying; as follows.

o Ib. ut supra, (Seder Olam Rabba, c. 8. p. 24. & Meyer. Annotat. in ib. p. 338.) Pesikta, Chaskuni.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake - The mission of the spies was first suggested by the Israelites themselves. See Deuteronomy 1:22.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XIII

Twelve men, one out of every tribe, are sent to examine the

nature and state of the land of Canaan, 1-3.

Their names, 4-16.

Moses gives them particular directions, 17-20.

They proceed on their journey, 21, 22.

Come to Eshcol, and cut down a branch with a cluster of grapes,

which they bear between two of them upon a staff, 23, 24.

After forty days they return to Paran, from searching the land,

and show to Moses and the people the fruit they had brought with

them, 25, 26.

Their report-they acknowledge that the land is good, but that

the inhabitants are such as the Israelites cannot hope to

conquer, 27-29.

Caleb endeavours to do away the bad impression made, by the

report of his fellows, upon the minds of the people, 30.

But the others persist in their former statement, 31:

and greatly amplify the difficulties of conquest, 32, 33.
