Deuteronomy 1:22-25

22Then all of you came near me and said, 'Let us send men before us, that they may explore the land for us and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up and the cities into which we shall come.'

23The thing seemed good to me, and I took twelve men from you, one man from each tribe.

24And they turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied it out.

25And they took in their hands some of the fruit of the land and brought it down to us, and brought us word again and said, 'It is a good land that the Lord our God is giving us.'
