Bible Illustration - The 12 Spies
While the basic story of the twelve spies is known by most, there is much more to uncover. In this class, we will take a closer look at our sources. The story of the spies is also recounted elsewhere in the Bible beyond Numbers 13-14. Are these ancient sources consistent? What is the Hebrew word behind the English "spies"? Whose idea was it to send them to "spy" out the land of promise? We will explore these questions from different angles, enriching our understanding of the narrative.
