Numbers 13:17-24

¹⁷When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he told them, “Go up through the Negev and into the hill country.

¹⁸See what the land is like and whether its people are strong or weak, few or many.

¹⁹Is the land where they live good or bad? Are the cities where they dwell open camps or fortifications?

²⁰Is the soil fertile or unproductive? Are there trees in it or not? Be courageous, and bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)

²¹So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo-hamath.

²²They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, dwelled. It had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.

²³When they came to the Valley of Eshcol, they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes, which they carried on a pole between two men. They also took some pomegranates and figs.

²⁴Because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut there, that place was called the Valley of Eshcol.
