Verse 3 is found in chapter 13 of Numbers. Moses sends twelve spies to explore the land of Canaan. The instructions cover geographical, agricultural, and military characteristics, since the mission seeks to determine what the land promised by God is like. The spies represent the tribes, and their report will have national consequences. The scene prepares the contrast between the reality observed by the explorers and the interpretation they will give it.
