Bible Figure
Gaddi
spy from the tribe of Manasseh sent to explore the land of Canaan
Gaddi son of Susi represented the tribe of Manasseh among the twelve men sent by Moses to spy out Canaan.
Biography
Numbers 13 names Gaddi son of Susi as Manasseh's representative in the reconnaissance of Canaan. The chapter later reports that, apart from Caleb and Joshua, the spies discouraged Israel by emphasizing the strength of the land's inhabitants. Scripture does not separately record Gaddi's individual words, so his participation in the majority report is inferred from the collective account.
Biblical Significance
Gaddi belongs to the generation whose fearful report contributed to Israel's refusal to enter Canaan and the resulting wilderness judgment. His individual role should not be embellished beyond the collective narrative.
