How does the Bible describe the land of Canaan?

In the Book of Numbers, two parallel stories of the spies who entered the land of the Canaanites are expertly intertwined, each representing a different tradition. The spies came back and described the land of Canaan, with slightly different reports in each case.'Yahwist' versionIn one account, attributed to the Yahwist source, Moses dispatched the spies, who travelled only as far north as Hebron (in the future kingdom of Judah). They issued their report to one person (Moses), stating that the land was 'flowing with milk and honey', but that the inhabitants were giants and and their cities fortified (Numbers 13:27-29). Only Caleb tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest, to which the spies countered that the land was unconquerable (13:30-31,33). 'Priestly' versionIn the second account, from the Priestly Source, Moses appointed twelve heads of tribes to scout the land, and they toured the entire Promised Land, 'from the Wilderness of Zin to the entrance to Hamath'. The spies returned and displayed the land's fruit. They issued their report to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation, stating that Canaan was not only unconquerable, but a 'land that devours its inhabitants' (Numbers 13:32-33).

How did Joshua and Caleb propose the conquest of Canaan?

The Book of Numbers tells how Moses sent spies into the land of Canaan to report back on the strengths of the people and their defences. This is told in the"Spies Narrative" in Numbers chapters 13 and 14. However, there are actually two different spies narratives, so cleverly conflated as to appear to the casual reader to be a single, if rather complex, narrative. One account is told from the perspective of the southern Hebrew kingdom of Judah, for whom Caleb was their great military hero. In this account (Numbers 13:17b-20,22-25,27-31, 14:1b,4), Moses dispatched the spies, but the spies travelled only as far north as Hebron (in the future kingdom of Judah). The spies returned and issued their report to one person (Moses), stating that the land was 'flowing with milk and honey', but that the inhabitants were giants and and their cities fortified. Caleb alone tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest. The spies countered Caleb's claim, stating that the land was unconquerable. The people refused to enter Canaan and plotted to elect a new captain to lead them back to Egypt. The conquest of Canaan was eventually accomplished under the leadership of Caleb in Judges chapter 1. The other account was developed much later, by the Priestly Source, and seeks to support a continued claim to the long-lost territory that had once been the northern kingdom of Israel. It makes the legendary northern military leader, Joshua, the leader of the spies and the conqueror who would totally destroy the cities of Canaan, in the Book of Joshua. At God's command, Moses appointed twelve heads of tribes to scout the land, and dispached them from the Wilderness of Paran. The spies toured the entire Promised Land, 'from the Wilderness of Zin to the entrance to Hamath'. The spies returned and displayed the land's fruit. They issued their report to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation, stating that Canaan was not only unconquerable, but a 'land that devours its inhabitants'. Caleb and Joshua tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest. The Israelites responded by calling for them to be stoned. (Numbers 13:1-17a,21,25-26,32-33, 14:1a,2-3,6-10a) Neither account provides a detailed explanation of how Caleb or Joshua intended to overcome the difficulties they knew they would face. This is confirmed by the Israelites refusing to enter Canaan and, in one case wanting to be led back to Egypt, and in the other case threatening to stone Joshua and Caleb.

Who was Eshcol in the old testament?

Eshcol, an Emorite dignitary, was a contemporary of Abraham; and there was a treaty of friendship between them, along with two of Eshcol's relatives, who were named Aner and Mamrei (Genesis 13).

How did Moses and Caleb respond to the other spies?

A:In the Book of Numbers, Moses sent spies to search the land of Canaan, but the narrative is actually two versions of the same story, by two different authors, blended together in the same book. As a result, there are two different reports about the land of Canaan and two different responses to those reports. The Yahwist Source was only interested in providing an account of the conquest of the future kingdom of Judah, and (Numbers 13:22-25) the spies travelled only as far north as Hebron in Judah. The spies returned and issued their report to Moses alone, stating that the land was 'flowing with milk and honey', but that the inhabitants were giants and and their cities fortified. Caleb alone tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest; the spies countered Caleb's claim, stating that the land was unconquerable. (13:30-31,33). The people refused to enter Canaan and plotted to elect a new captain to lead them back to Egypt (14:1b, 4).The Priestly Source, writing during the Babylonian Exile, wanted to further Judah's interest in reclaiming the former kingdom of Israel and always included Israel in his stories. In his story, the spies toured the entire Promised Land, 'from the Wilderness of Zin to the entrance to Hamath' (Numbers 13:21). The spies returned and displayed the land's fruit and issued their report to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. Their report stated that Canaan was not only unconquerable, but a 'land that devours its inhabitants' (13:32-33). The Israelites refused to enter Canaan (14:1a, 2-3). Joshua is closely identified with the traditions of the northern kingdom and, in the Priestly account, plays a much bigger part in the response. Caleb and Joshua both tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest, but the Israelites responded by calling for them to be stoned.

Were the spies Moses sent to spy on Canaan opposed to attacking?

In the Book of Numbers, there are two parallel stories of the spies who entered the land of the Canaanites, each representing a different tradition. The spies' reports are slightly different in each case, as are the subsequent events and then God's reaction to the disobedience of the spies and of the Israelites.'Yahwist' versionIn one account, from the Yahwist source, Moses dispatched the spies, who travelled only as far north as Hebron (in the future kingdom of Judah). They issued their report to one person (Moses), stating that the land was 'flowing with milk and honey', but that the inhabitants were giants and and their cities fortified (Numbers 13:27-29). Only Caleb tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest, to which the spies countered that the land was unconquerable (13:30-31,33). The people then refused to enter Canaan and plotted to elect a new captain to lead them back to Egypt (14:1b,4). In this account, the spies not only issued an unfavourable report, but also opposed Caleb's proposal that the conquest proceed, because the land was unconquerable. Note that Joshua plays a very minor role in the Yahwist account.'Priestly' versionIn the second account, from the Priestly source, Moses appointed twelve heads of tribes to scout the land, and they toured the entire Promised Land, 'from the Wilderness of Zin to the entrance to Hamath'. The spies returned and displayed the land's fruit. They issued their report to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation, stating that Canaan was not only unconquerable, but a 'land that devours its inhabitants' (Numbers 13:32-33). Caleb and Joshua both tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest, but the Israelites responded by calling for them to be stoned (14:6-10a). In this account, the spies do not directly oppose an invasion, as they do in the Yahwist account, but nevertheless they all died in a plague, all except Joshua and Caleb.In this account, the spies issued an unfavourable report which resulted in the Israelites refusing to attack. They might have gone further in opposing this plan, but the story does not say. Their death in a plague can be read as suggesting that they did actually oppose any invasion of Canaan, and were therefore punished by God for their disobedience.
