Numbers 13:17–24

¹⁷And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way ^gsouthward, and go up into ^hthe mountain: ¹⁸And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; ¹⁹And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; ²⁰And what the land is, whether it be ⁱfat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And ^kbe ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes. ²¹So they went up, and searched the land ^lfrom the wilderness of Zin unto ^mRehob, ⁿas men come to Hamath. ²²And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where ^oAhiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now ^pHebron was built seven years before ^qZoan in Egypt.) ^23rAnd they came unto the ^||brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a ^sstaff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. ²⁴The place was called the ^||brook ^||Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
