Deuteronomy 1:19–25

¹⁹‘And we journey from Horeb, and go through all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen—the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea.

²⁰‘And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us; ²¹see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up, possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.

²²‘And ye come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring us back word concerning the way in which we go up into it, and the cities unto which we come in; ²³and the thing is good in mine eyes, and I take of you twelve men, one man for a tribe.

²⁴‘And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy it, ²⁵and they take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.
