Verse 23 is found in chapter 1 of Deuteronomy. Moses recalls the sending of the spies from Kadesh-barnea and their report about Canaan. Although they acknowledged that the land was good, the people feared its inhabitants and accused God of bringing them out of Egypt to destroy them. The episode is presented as a crisis of trust: the problem was not the absence of evidence concerning the land, but the fearful interpretation of its difficulties.

Das gefiel mir wohl, und ich nahm aus euch zwölf Männer, von jeglichem Stamm einen.
Y el dicho me pareció bien: y tomé doce varones de vosotros, un varón por tribu:
La propuesta me pareció bien, y tomé de entre ustedes doce hombres, un hombre de cada tribu.
Cet avis me parut bon; et je pris douze hommes parmi vous, un homme par tribu.
E la cosa mi aggradì; e io presi dodici uomini di voi, uno per tribù;
Isto me pareceu bem; de modo que de vós tomei doze homens, de cada tribo um homem.
這話我看為美,就從你們中間選取十二個人,每支派一人。
