Commentary
3 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori
on Numbers 13:5-10
Caleb at verse 6 and Hoshea at verse 8 are named with nothing to set them apart from the ten. Matthew Henry suggests the roll is kept for the sake of the two good men in it.
This site's exposition
Gaddiel son of Sodi
Moses retells the choosing at Deuteronomy 1:23 and says the plan seemed good to him, so he took one man from each tribe. Clarke reads that account together with this chapter, God granting what the people had asked. Every tribe had a witness of its own.
