Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.

KJV

Eligite de singulis tribubus ternos viros, ut mittam eos, et pergant atque circumeant terram, et describant eam juxta numerum uniuscujusque multitudinis : referantque ad me quod descripserint.

Vulgate

δότε ἐξ ὑμῶν τρεῖς ἄνδρας ἐκ φυλῆς, καὶ ἀναστάντες διελθέτωσαν τὴν γῆν, καὶ διαγραψάτωσαν αὐτὴν ἐναντίον μου καθὰ δεήσει διελθεῖν αὐτήν. καὶ διήλθοσαν πρὸς αὐτόν,

LXX

Appoint for you three men of each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me.
