About this episode
How high was the water in the Jordan River when the Israelites crossed? What are the three things that Joshua said/commanded to the people when they were standing in the Jordan? The stones they took from the Jordan weighed 40 seah . From this it is derived that a person can carry three times that weight if someone else loads the load onto their shoulder's and hence the weight that the bunch of grapes that the spies took out of Israel was 960 seah because eight people carried it. What formation of poles were used to carry the huge cluster of grapes? Did Israel pass through Jordan in a way that they camped in the desert or did they walk one after the other? The Gemara begins a long series of drashot on the story of the spies - who asked to send spies (how can we resolve the contradiction between what it says in Bamidbar and what it says in Devraim on this issue)? How can we extrapolate the names of the spies? Why is it written "And they went up into the Negev" in the plural "And he came to Hebron" in the singular? What does this teach about Kaleb? How can we extrapolate the clean names of the giants they found in Israel? How do you explain the verse "Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt"?
