Context of Numbers 13:18
16These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua. 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: And 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.
