Gaddiel Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Gaddiel, the son of Sodi, is mentioned in Num 13:10 as the representative of the tribe of Zebulun among the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. The spies were chosen from each of the twelve tribes of Israel to scout out the land, assess its resources, and gather information about its inhabitants (Num 13:17-20). Gaddiel was one of the ten spies who brought back a negative report, emphasizing the strength of the Canaanites and the challenges of conquering the land (Num 13:31-33). Only Joshua and Caleb, the other two spies, gave a positive report and encouraged the Israelites to trust in God's promise (Num 14:6-9). As a result of the people's unbelief and rebellion, God declared that the generation who had witnessed the Exodus would not enter the Promised Land, except for Joshua and Caleb (Num 14:20-35).
