Moses Teaches the Spies to Read Canaan's Camps and Fortresses

Midrash Aggadah, Numbers 13:18

Curated by Arthur·Translated by Maggid (Beta)·

"And you shall see the land, what it is, etc." And how many signs he gave them, so that they would recognize it properly. For thus he said to them: If you see them, that they dwell in open camps, they are exceedingly mighty and fear no man, and therefore know that they are mighty; for because they are mighty, they trust in their own strength, and it is a disgrace for them to dwell in fortified cities. But if they dwell in strongholds, know that they are weak.
