STEPBible TIPNR
Machi is mentioned in the book of Numbers as the father of Geuel, who was one of the twelve scouts sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan (Num 13:15). Each scout was chosen as a leader from their respective tribes, and Geuel represented the tribe of Gad. The scouts were tasked with surveying the land, assessing its fertility, and gathering information about the inhabitants (Num 13:17-20). Upon their return, the scouts reported that the land was bountiful but the inhabitants were powerful, which discouraged the Israelites and led to their refusal to enter the land (Num 13:25-33). As a result, God condemned the generation to wander in the wilderness for forty years (Num 14:26-35).
