Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 13:1-33

Numbers 13:1-Micah : . The Espial of Canaan.— This narrative is marked by numerous discrepancies, due to its being a fusion of two accounts drawn from JE and P. In the one (JE) the spies start probably from Kadesh ( Numbers 13:26; Numbers 32:8, cf. Deuteronomy 1:19 f., Joshua 14:7), the survey is limited to the S. of Palestine ( Numbers 13:22 f.), and the report of the land is favourable, but of the inhabitants alarming ( Numbers 13:27-Joel :), Caleb alone dissenting from the latter... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Numbers 13:16

Oshea notes a desire of salvation, signifying, Save, we pray thee, but Jehoshua, or Joshua, includes a promise of salvation, that he should save, or that God by his hands should save the people. So this was a prophecy of his succession to Moses in the government, and of the success of his arms. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Numbers 13:1-33

Chapter 13Now in chapter thirteen we get the story. Now, they come to Kadesh Barnea and they are now on the border ready to enter into the Promised Land. They had been about two years, a little over two years now in the wilderness. And now they've come to the place of entering in and possessing the land that God had promised to them. In coming to the borders of the land, Moses thought it would be wise to send spies into the land in order that they might travel through the land, look at the... read more

Numbers 13:11 . The tribe of Joseph. This verse seems deficient. Septri Manasseh; where the sense is, that the sceptre of Joseph was in the tribe of Manasseh.
