Numbers 13:20-28

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.

²⁶And they go and come in unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company of the sons of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the company back word, and shew them the fruit of the land.

²⁷And they recount to him, and say, 'We came in unto the land whither thou hast sent us, and also it is flowing with milk and honey — and this is its fruit;

²⁸only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land is strong; and the cities are fenced, very great; and also children of Anak we have seen there.
