Susi סוּסִי
Father of the Manassite spy Gaddi
Who is Susi in the Bible?
Susi was the father of Gaddi, a spy from the tribe of Manasseh who was chosen to scout the land of Canaan (Numbers 13:11). He appears only once in Scripture as part of the account of Moses sending twelve men to survey the promised land before Israel's invasion. Though Susi himself is not mentioned again in the biblical record, his son Gaddi was among the twelve spies tasked with assessing the land and reporting back to the Israelite community. His brief mention underscores the genealogical framework used in the spy narrative, connecting individual families to this pivotal moment of Israel's wilderness journey.
