Numbers 13:10

Study note

Setting — The text is part of a catalog listing one representative from each of the twelve tribes, presented in sequential order without narrative interruption.

The words — זְבוּלֻ֔ן (ze.vu.Lun) identifies the tribal lineage, while גַּדִּיאֵ֖ל (ga.di.'El) records the designated leader’s name.

The thread — This entry functions within the Numbers 13 spy roster and aligns with parallel tribal listings in Numbers 1:1–16 and 34:16–29.

Why it lands — The verse requires the reader to track how individual tribal identities are preserved within a larger covenantal structure.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
