SHELACH – the layered narratives of the twelve spies sent to scout the land of Canaan. By comparing the accounts in Numbers and Deuteronomy, we explore how these versions differ and what those differences reveal about the composition of the Pentateuch. Are we looking at one unified story—or a stitched-together tradition from multiple sources? And why do some scholars suggest that the spy narrative is a later addition altogether? Join us as we scout the text itself, tracing the seams, the shifts, and the scholarly theories behind this pivotal biblical episode.
