Numbers 13:17-21

¹⁷Moses sent them out to explore the land of Canaan, telling them, “Go through the Negev and on into the hill country.

¹⁸See what the place looks like, and find out about the people living there—are they strong or weak? Are there many of them or only a few?

¹⁹Is the land where they're living good or bad? Are their towns like open camps, or do they have defensive walls?

²⁰Is the soil productive or not? Is it forested? Be brave, and bring back some of the country's fruit.” (It was the beginning of the grape harvest.)

²¹So the men went and explored the land all the way from the Desert of Zin to Rehob, bear Lebo-hamath.
