Numbers 13:17-25

17Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan and said to them, "Go up into the Negeb and go up into the hill country,

18and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many,

19and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds,

20and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

21So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo-hamath.

22They went up into the Negeb and came to Hebron. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

23And they came to the Valley of Eshcol and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them; they also brought some pomegranates and figs.

24That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster that the people of Israel cut down from there.

25At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land.
