Exegesis
The restrictive prepositional phrase min-hā-ʾănāšîm hā-hêm {מִן־הָאֲנָשִׁים הָהֵם | min-hā-ʾănā-šîm hā-hêm} ‘from among those men’ limits the subject set, while the participle ha-hō-lĕ-kîm lā-tūr ʾet hā-ʾā-reṣ {הַהֹלְכִים לָת֥וּר אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ | ha-hō-lĕ-kîm lā-tūr ʾet hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘going to spy out the land’ serves as a purpose clause modifying “those men.” In translation, preserving the coordinate structure honors the Hebrew emphasis on the two survivors, and explicitly marking exclusivity reflects the force of the מִן-construction.
In context — Numbers 14:38
But Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive from among those men who went to scout the land.
