Numbers 13:17-20

17Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way into the Negev (the South country); then go up into the hill country.

18See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many,

19and whether the land in which they live is good or bad, and whether the cities in which they live are [open] camps or fortifications,

20and what the land is, whether it is fat (productive) or lean, whether there is timber on it or not. Make an effort to get some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
