Exegesis
The Piel imperfect tishlachu {תִּשְׁלָחוּ | tišlāḥû} involves all leaders in the act, and kol nasi bahem {כֹּל נָשִׂיא בָהֶם | kôl nāšîʾ bahem} defines the sent men as authorized princes, underscoring their leadership role.
In context — Numbers 13:2
Send for yourself men that they may explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel. From each tribe of his fathers you shall send one man, every one a leader among them.
