Numbers, Chapter 13,  verses 14-27

14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi; 15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; but Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.
17 When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he said to them, “Go upb Lit herethere into thec I.e. South country, and so throughout the chNegev; then go up into the hill country. 18 See what the land is like, and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many. 19 How is the land in which they live, is it good or bad? And how are the cities in which they live, are theyd Lit inlike open camps or with fortifications? 20 How is the land, is it fat or lean? Are there trees in it or not?e Lit Use your strengthMake an effort then to get some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
21 So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob,f Or to the entrance of Hamathat Lebo-hamath. 22 When they had gone up into the Negev,g Lit Most mss read one camethey came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, theh Lit childrendescendants of Anak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 Then they came to thei Or wadivalley ofj I.e. clusterEshcol and from there cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two men, with some of the pomegranates and the figs. 24 That place was called the valley ofk I.e. clusterEshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down from there.
25 When they returned from spying out the land, at the end of forty days, 26 they proceeded to come to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israell Lit toin the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 Thus they told him, and said, “We went in to the land where you sent us; and it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
