Commentary on Numbers 13:3

Theological / Devotional

The commandment. This was given to Moses in “the time of the firstripe grapes” (v. 20), which would date this incident in about the fifth month of the second year after Israel left Egypt.

From the wilderness of Paran. That is, from Kadesh-bamea (Num. 32:8; Deut. 1:19—22; 9:23; Joshua 14:7).

Heads. The rulers of hundreds and thousands (Ex. 18:25), and princes of the tribes (Num. 1:16), were so called. But these were evidently tribal “heads” of a lower category.
