1 The Lord spoke to Moses. He said,
2 "Send some men to check out the land of Canaan. I am giving it to the people of Israel. Send one leader from each of Israel's tribes."
3 So Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. He sent them as the Lord had commanded. All of them were leaders of the people of Israel.
4 Here are their names. There was Shammua from the tribe of Reuben. Shammua was the son of Zaccur.
5 There was Shaphat from the tribe of Simeon. Shaphat was the son of Hori.
