This is a parallel-text presentation of Numbers 13 from the Hebrew Bible, displaying three versions side by side: the King James Version with Strong's Concordance numbers embedded in the text, the Greek Septuagint (LXX), and the Hebrew Masoretic Text (Tanakh). The chapter narrates God's command to Moses to send one tribal leader from each of the twelve tribes of Israel to scout the land of Canaan; it lists all twelve spies by name and tribe, including the renaming of Hoshea son of Nun to Joshua. Moses instructs the scouts to assess the land's fertility, the strength of its inhabitants, and the nature of its cities, and they return after forty days bearing a giant cluster of grapes from the Valley of Eshcol. The spies' report is split: they confirm Canaan "flows with milk and honey" but ten of them spread a fearful account of powerful peoples, enormous fortified cities, and giants (the Anakim) before whom the Israelites felt like grasshoppers, while Caleb alone urges immediate conquest. The distinctive feature of this presentation is its scholarly interlinear format — the KJV column interlaces each English word with its Strong's reference number, making it a lexical study tool rather than a plain reading text — alongside the Greek and Hebrew originals for direct textual comparison across three major manuscript traditions.
