Numbers 13:17-29

17When MosesH4872 sentH7971 them to spyH8446 outH8446 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, he saidH559 to them, “GoH5927 upH5927 thereH2088 into 1the 2NegevH5045; then goH5927 upH5927 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. 19And howH4100 is the landH776 in whichH834 they liveH3427, is it goodH2896 orH518 badH7451? And howH4100 are the citiesH5892 in whichH834H1992 they liveH3427, are the people in open campsH4264 orH518 in fortificationsH4013? 20And 3howH4100 is the landH776, is it 4productiveH8082 orH518 unproductiveH7330? AreH3426 thereH3426 treesH6086 in it orH518 not? And 5showH2388 yourselves courageousH2388 and getH3947 someH4480 of the fruitH6529 of the landH776.” Now the timeH3117 was the seasonH3117 of the firstH1061 ripeH1061 grapesH6025.

21So they wentH5927 upH5927 and spiedH8446 outH8446 the landH776 from 6the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790 as farH5704 as RehobH7340, 78at Lebo-hamathH935. 22When they had goneH5927 upH5927 into 9the NegevH5045, 10they cameH935 to HebronH2275 whereH8033 11AhimanH289, SheshaiH8344, and TalmaiH8526, the 12descendantsH3211 of 13AnakH6061 were. (HebronH2275 was builtH1129 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 beforeH6440 14ZoanH6814 in EgyptH4714.)

23Then they cameH935 to the 15ValleyH5158 of 1617EshcolH812, and from thereH8033 they cutH3772 offH3772 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 18EshcolH812, becauseH5921H182 of the clusterH811 whichH834 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cutH3772 offH3772 from thereH8033.

25When they returnedH7725 from spyingH8446 outH8446 the landH776, at the endH7093 of fortyH705 daysH3117, 26they wentH1980 on and cameH935 to MosesH4872 and AaronH175 and to allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 19in the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290 at 20KadeshH6946; and they broughtH7725 backH7725 wordH1697 to them and to allH3605 the congregationH5712, and showedH7200 them the fruitH6529 of the landH776. 27So they reportedH5608 to him and saidH559, “We cameH935 into the landH776 whereH834 you sentH7971 us, and 21it certainlyH1571 does flowH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, and 22thisH2088 is its fruitH6529. 28NeverthelessH657H3588, 23the peopleH5971 who liveH3427 in the landH776 are strongH5794, and the citiesH5892 are fortifiedH1219 and veryH3966 largeH1419. And indeedH1571, we sawH7200 24the 25descendantsH3211 of AnakH6061 thereH8033! 29AmalekH6002 is livingH3427 in the landH776 of 26the NegevH5045, the HittitesH2850, the JebusitesH2983, and 27the AmoritesH567 are livingH3427 in the hillH2022 countryH2022, and 28the CanaanitesH3669 are livingH3427 by the seaH3220 and by the sideH3027 of the JordanH3383.”
