from the tribe of Manasseh
The phrase "from the tribe of Manasseh" refers to one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Manasseh, the firstborn son of Joseph. In Hebrew, "Manasseh" means "causing to forget," reflecting Joseph's desire to forget his hardships in Egypt (Genesis 41:51). Historically, the tribe of Manasseh was known for its significant territory on both sides of the Jordan River, indicating its importance and strength among the tribes. This context highlights the strategic and spiritual significance of the tribe's representation in the exploration of Canaan, as they were tasked with assessing the land God promised to Israel.

Gaddi
The name "Gaddi" is derived from the Hebrew root "gad," meaning "fortune" or "luck." This name may reflect the hope or expectation of prosperity and success, which aligns with the mission of the spies to explore a land flowing with milk and honey. Gaddi's role as a representative of his tribe underscores the collective hope of Israel to inherit the blessings promised by God.

son of Susi
"Susi" is a name that appears only in this context, and its meaning is not entirely clear. However, it is believed to be derived from the Hebrew root "sus," meaning "horse." This could symbolize strength, speed, or nobility, qualities valued in the ancient Near Eastern culture. The mention of Gaddi as the "son of Susi" emphasizes the importance of lineage and heritage in Israelite society, where family identity played a crucial role in one's social and spiritual standing. This connection to his father may also suggest a legacy of faith and courage, essential traits for the task of exploring the Promised Land.
