Deuteronomy 1:21-23

New International Version - UK

²¹ See, the Lord your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.’

²² Then all of you came to me and said, ‘Let us send men ahead to spy out the land for us and bring back a report about the route we are to take and the towns we will come to.’

²³ The idea seemed good to me; so I selected twelve of you, one man from each tribe.
