“Command the Israelites to send away anyone from the camp who is afflicted with a skin disease, anyone who has a bodily discharge, or anyone who is defiled because of a corpse.

You must send away both male or female; send them outside the camp, so that they will not defile their camps where I dwell among them.”

A wind sent by the Lord came up and blew quail in from the sea; it dropped them at the camp all around, three feet off the ground, about a day’s journey in every direction.

“Send men to scout out the land of Canaan I am giving to the Israelites. Send one man who is a leader among them from each of their ancestral tribes.”

Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran at the Lord’s command. All the men were leaders in Israel.

These were the names of the men Moses sent to scout out the land, and Moses renamed Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.

When Moses sent them to scout out the land of Canaan, he told them, “Go up this way to the Negev, then go up into the hill country.

They reported to Moses: “We went into the land where you sent us. Indeed it is flowing with milk and honey, and here is some of its fruit.

So the men Moses sent to scout out the land, and who returned and incited the entire community to complain about him by spreading a negative report about the land—

Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!

Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the Lord sent me to do all these things and that it was not of my own will:

If these men die naturally as all people would, and suffer the fate of all, then the Lord has not sent me.

Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says, ‘You know all the hardships that have overtaken us.

When we cried out to the Lord, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the border of your territory.

Then the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the people, and they bit them so that many Israelites died.

Israel sent messengers to say to Sihon king of the Amorites:

After Moses sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.

he sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the Euphrates in the land of his people. Balak said to him: “Look, a people has come out of Egypt; they cover the surface of the land and are living right across from me.

Balaam replied to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent this message to me:

Balak sent officials again who were more numerous and higher in rank than the others.

Balak asked Balaam, “Did I not send you an urgent summons? Why didn’t you come to me? Am I really not able to reward you?”

Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent for Balaam and the officials who were with him.

Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I previously tell the messengers you sent me:

Send 1,000 men to war from each Israelite tribe.”

Moses sent 1,000 from each tribe to war. They went with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, in whose care were the holy objects and signal trumpets.

That’s what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
