Struggling with two today -help welcomed.

23a A spy sent by Moses mentioned in Numbers chapter 13 (8)
_ E _ O _ H _ _

I can't find any names that match those letters so I'm not sure if I've gotten my letters wrong.

18d A provision for maintenance (8) _ P _ _ _ A _ E

23a Ya-Hoshea

18d Perhaps, spillage. I found an explanation roughly corresponding.

I checked the answers because I knew I had Botticelli spelt correctly. I got Yehoshua for the spy sent by Moses. That then gave me Appanage for the maintenance. Thanks Glasman for sending me in the right direction to get this finished.
