Also known as Maki
Machi is mentioned in the book of Numbers as the father of Geuel, who was one of the twelve scouts sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan (Num.13.15). Each scout was chosen as a leader from their respective tribes, and Geuel represented the tribe of Gad. The scouts were tasked with surveying the land, assessing its fertility, and gathering information about the inhabitants (Num.13.17-20). Upon their return, the scouts reported that the land was bountiful but the inhabitants were powerful, which discouraged the Israelites and led to their refusal to enter the land (Num.13.25-33). As a result, God condemned the generation to wander in the wilderness for forty years (Num.14.26-35).
