Numbers 13:18-23

¹⁸Examine the land to see what it is like. Observe the people who live there, whether they are strong or weak, and whether they are few or many.

¹⁹See what the land is like where they live. Is it good or bad? What cities are there? Are they like camps, or are they fortified cities?

²⁰See what the land is like, whether it is good for growing crops or not, and whether there are trees there or not. Be brave and bring back samples of the land's produce.” Now the time was the season for the first ripe grapes.

²¹So the men went up and examined the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo Hamath.

²²They went up from the Negev and arrived at Hebron. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, clans descended from Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.

²³When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut down a branch with a cluster of grapes. They carried it on a staff between two of their group. They also brought pomegranates and figs.
