²² “^(A)Then all of you approached me and said, ‘Let us send men ahead of us, so that they may spy out the land for us, and bring back to us word of the way by which we should go up, and the cities which we should enter.’ ²³ The ^[a]plan pleased me, and I took twelve of your men, one man for each tribe.
