Season 2: Heroes of the Bible
Episode 34: “Twelve Spies”
Today’s Bible Bite: Numbers 13

Video Story:

“Send out men to explore the land of Canaan, the land I am giving to the Israelites. Send one leader from each of the twelve ancestral tribes.” (Numbers 13:2)

God brought the people to the boundary of the land He had promised them, but before they entered, He told Moses to send out twelve spies so that they could see how very good it was. Moses sent a man from each of the twelve tribes and told them to look into everything: what was the land like for growing food, how many people lived there, what kind of towns and cities did they live in? So, the men traveled in the land for forty days and brought back a report.

The land was truly amazing! They brought back samples of the dates and figs that grew there and a single cluster of grapes that was so big it had to be carried by two people. But that’s not all that was impressive; the people were huge and lived in towns that were well protected. Taking the land might prove to be very difficult. Two of the spies encouraged the people to remember that God was with them, and if He said He was going to help them, then they should trust that He was going to help them. The other ten spies weren’t so convinced. So, what will the people decide? Stay tuned until tomorrow.

Think about it...
• God had promised to give the Israelites a wonderful land. Why did God tell Moses to send out the spies?
• They checked out the land for forty days and were amazed at all that they saw. What did they find?
• In order to live in the land, they would have to deal with the people who already lived there. What was the problem?
• Two of the spies, Joshua and Caleb, encouraged the people to go into the land; the other ten did not. Whose advice do you think you would have chosen to follow?
​
Prayer: Thank you, God, that you always keep your promises. You had made a promise and Joshua and Caleb believed. Help me to be like them and trust that you will help me too.
