Deuteronomy 1:22-25

22“And every one of you came near to me and said, ‘Let us send men before us, and let them search out the land for us, and bring back word to us of the way by which we should go up, and of the cities into which we shall come.’

23“The plan pleased me well; so I took twelve of your men, one man from each tribe.

24And they departed and went up into the mountains, and came to the Valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.

25They also took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us; and they brought back word to us, saying, ‘It is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us.’
