Deuteronomy 1:22-25

22“Then all of you approached me and said, ‘Let’s send men ahead of us, so that they may explore the land for us and bring us back a report about the route we should go up and the cities we will come to.’

23The plan seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one man for each tribe.

24They left and went up into the hill country and came to Eshcol Valley, scouting the land.

25They took some of the fruit from the land in their hands, carried it down to us, and brought us back a report: ‘The land the Lord our God is giving us is good.’
