Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Numbers 13:1-33

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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Numbers 13:1-33

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. The Hebrew משׂה matta, signifies mace, rod, staff, &c., which the ancients were proud to preserve as the badge of princely descent and power. Numbers 13:16 . Joshua; literally, Jehoshua, or Jesus, as the LXX; that is, Saviour, who will save, or Saviour of the Lord. It is a compound of Jehovah; the Ιαω of the Greeks.... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 13:30

30. Caleb The spy from the tribe of Judah here begins the minority report, which is characterized by an unwavering trust in Jehovah. “A discrepancy indicating diversity of author-ship is here again alleged, in that here and in Numbers 14:24, as well as in Deuteronomy 1:36, Caleb is spoken of alone; whereas in Numbers 14:30; Numbers 26:65; Numbers 32:12, Caleb and Joshua are spoken of as having acted together on this occasion, Caleb being first named, and in Numbers 14:6, it is Joshua and... read more
