Numbers 13:17-25

17And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way southward, and go up to the mountain: 18And see the land, what it is ; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many; 19And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; 20And what the land is, whether it is rich or barren, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

21So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath. 22And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were . (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.1 24The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from there.23 25And they returned from searching the land after forty days.
