Numbers 13:21-29
21So they went up and spied out the land from 1the wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, 23at Lebo-hamath. 22When they had gone up into 4the Negev, 5they came to Hebron where 6Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the 7descendants of 8Anak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before 9Zoan in Egypt.)
23Then they came to the 10valley of 1112Eshcol 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. 24That place was called the valley of 13Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down from there.
25When they returned from spying out the land, at the end of forty days, 26they proceeded to come to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel 14in the wilderness of Paran, at 15Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land. 27Thus they told him, and said, “We went in to the land where you sent us; and 16it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and 17this is its fruit. 28Nevertheless, 18the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw 19the 20descendants of Anak there. 29Amalek is living in the land of 21the Negev and the Hittites and the Jebusites and 22the Amorites are living in the hill country, and 23the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan.”
