Numbers 13:22–27

23 Then they came to the 1valley of 2aEshcol 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.

24 That place was called the valley of 1Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down from there.
