es-pı̄´: “Espy†in modern English means “to catch sight of,†rather than “to explore secretly.†the Revised Version (British and American) therefore retains it in , “He espied his money†(Hebrew ר××”, raÌ„'aÌ„h, “seeâ€), while in “espy out the land†(the King James Version) becomes “spy out the land.†the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes “watch†for “espy†in , and “searched out†for “espied†in , with a gain in accuracy of rendering (compare the context).
