Michael Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Michael is mentioned in the book of Numbers as one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan (Num 13:13). He was chosen as the representative from the tribe of Asher. Along with the other spies, Michael was instructed to assess the land, its inhabitants, and its cities (Num 13:17-20). After forty days, the spies returned with their report, acknowledging the land's fruitfulness but emphasizing the strength of its inhabitants and fortified cities (Num 13:25-29). While Caleb and Joshua encouraged the people to trust in the Lord and take possession of the land, the other ten spies, including Michael, gave a discouraging report that instilled fear in the Israelites (Num 13:30-33). As a result, the people rebelled against Moses and the Lord, leading to a forty-year delay in entering the Promised Land (Num.14).
