Numbers 13:17–25

¹⁷And Moses sendeth them to spy the land of Canaan, and saith unto them, ‘Go ye up this way into the south, and ye have gone up the mountain, ¹⁸and have seen the land what it is, and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it is strong or feeble; whether it is few or many; ¹⁹and what the land is in which it is dwelling, whether it is good or bad; and what are the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses; ²⁰And what the land is, whether it is fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and ye have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land;’ and the days are days of the first-fruits of grapes.

²¹And they go up and spy the land, from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the going in to Hamath; ²²and they go up by the south, and come in unto Hebron, and there are Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt), ²³and they come in unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch and one cluster of grapes, and they bear it on a staff by two, also some of the pomegranates, and of the figs. ²⁴That place hath one called Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from thence. ²⁵And they turn back from spying the land at the end of forty days.
