Numbers 13:17-24
Read Numbers 13 in full →17So Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan and said to them, “Go up 1there into athe 2Negev; then go up into the hill country. 18“And see what the land is like, and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many. 19“And how is the land in which they live, is it good or bad? And how are the cities in which they live, are they 1like open camps or with fortifications? 20“aAnd how is the land, is it fat or lean? Are there trees in it or not? 1Make an beffort then to get some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
21So they went up and spied out the land from athe wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, 1,bat Lebo-hamath. 22And they had gone up into athe Negev and 1came to Hebron where bAhiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the 2descendants of cAnak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before dZoan in Egypt.)
23Then they came to the 1valley of 2,aEshcol and from there cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two men with some of the pomegranates and the figs. 24That place was called the valley of 1Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down from there.
