Numbers 13:17-25
17When MosesH4872 sentH7971 them to spyH8446 out the landH776 of CanaanH3667, he saidH559 to them, “GoH5927 up 1thereH2088 into 2the 3NegevH5045; then goH5927 up into the hillH2022 countryH2022. 18SeeH7200 whatH4100 the landH776 is like, and whether the peopleH5971 who liveH3427 in it are strongH2389 or weakH7504, whether they are fewH4592 orH518 manyH7227. 19HowH4100 is the landH776 in whichH834 they liveH3427, is it goodH2896 orH518 badH7451? And howH4100 are the citiesH5892 in whichH834H1992 they liveH3427, are they 4like open campsH4264 orH518 with fortificationsH4013? 205HowH4100 is the landH776, is it fatH8082 orH518 leanH7330? Are thereH3426 treesH6086 in it orH518 not? 6MakeH2388 an 7effortH2388 then to getH3947 someH4480 of the fruitH6529 of the landH776.” Now the timeH3117 was the timeH3117 of the firstH1061 ripeH1061 grapesH6025.
21So they wentH5927 up and spiedH8446 out the landH776 from 8the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790 as farH5704 as RehobH7340, 910at Lebo-hamathH935. 22When they had goneH5927 up into 11the NegevH5045, 12they cameH935 to HebronH2275 whereH8033 13AhimanH289, SheshaiH8344 and TalmaiH8526, the 14descendantsH3211 of 15AnakH6061 were. (Now HebronH2275 was builtH1129 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 beforeH6440 16ZoanH6814 in EgyptH4714.)
23Then they cameH935 to the 17valleyH5158 of 1819EshcolH812 and from thereH8033 cutH3772 downH3772 a branchH2156 with a singleH259 clusterH811 of grapesH6025; and they carriedH5375 it on a poleH4132 between twoH8147 men, with someH4480 of the pomegranatesH7416 and the figsH8384. 24That placeH4725 was calledH7121 the valleyH5158 of 20EshcolH812, becauseH5921H182 of the clusterH811 whichH834 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cutH3772 downH3772 from thereH8033.
25When they returnedH7725 from spyingH8446 out the landH776, at the endH7093 of fortyH705 daysH3117,
