Gen Z: Numbers 13
1Yo, the Lord hit up Moses, saying,
2"Send some peeps to check out Canaan, the land I'm giving to Israel's crew: one from each tribe, make sure they're all rizzed up."
3So Moses, following the Lord's orders, sent them from the desert of Paran: all those guys were leaders of Israel's squad.
4Here are their names: from Reuben's tribe, Shammua, son of Zaccur.
5From Simeon's tribe, Shaphat, son of Hori.
6From Judah's tribe, Caleb, son of Jephunneh.
7From Issachar's tribe, Igal, son of Joseph.
8From Ephraim's tribe, Oshea, son of Nun.
9From Benjamin's tribe, Palti, son of Raphu.
10From Zebulun's tribe, Gaddiel, son of Sodi.
11From Joseph's crew, we got Gaddi, son of Susi. Straight vibes.
12From Dan, it's Ammiel, son of Gemalli. No cap.
13Asher's got Sethur, son of Michael. Lit.
14Naphtali reppin' Nahbi, son of Vophsi. Periodt.
15Gad's rollin' with Geuel, son of Machi. Bussin'.
16These are the homies Moses sent to check out the land. He renamed Oshea, son of Nun, to Jehoshua. Savage move.
17Moses told them to scope out Canaan, saying, "Head south and hit the mountains."
18Check the land, see what's good; are the peeps strong or weak, few or many?
19What’s the land like? Is it fire or trash? What cities are they in, chillin' in tents or strongholds?
20Is the land fat or lean, got trees or nah? Be brave and grab some fruit. It was grape season, fam.
21So they pulled up and scoped the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, like fam rolling to Hamath.
22They went up from the south and hit up Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the Anak squad, were chilling. (Fun fact: Hebron dropped seven years before Zoan in Egypt, no cap.)
23They hit the brook of Eshcol, chopped down a branch with a cluster of grapes, and carried it on a staff like it was heavy vibes; they also brought back pomegranates and figs.
24They named the spot the brook Eshcol 'cause of the grape cluster the Israelites snatched there, periodt.
25They bounced back after searching the land for forty days, fr.
26They rolled up to Moses, Aaron, and the whole crew of Israelites in the wilderness of Paran, Kadesh, and showed them the land's fruit.
27They told him, "Yo, we checked out the land you sent us to, and it’s totally flowing with milk and honey; peep this fruit!"
28But for real, the people there are strong, the cities are walled and massive, and we spotted the Anak fam too, sus.
29The Amalekites are chilling in the south, while the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites are in the mountains, and the Canaanites are by the sea and Jordan coast.
30Caleb calmed the squad down before Moses and said, "Let’s go up right now and claim it; we got this, no doubt!"
31But the squad that rolled with him was like, "Nah, we can't take those peeps; they're way stronger than us."
32They spilled some sus tea about the land they scouted, telling the Israelites, "This land is wild; it eats people alive, and everyone we saw there was like, huge."
33And we peeped the giants, the Anak crew, and felt like total grasshoppers next to them, no cap, they probably thought we were jokes too.
