Numbers 13:17-20

17As he sent them to explore the land of Canaan, he said to them, “Go up there through the Negev, then go up into the hill country.

18See what the land is like and the people living there, whether they might be strong or weak, few or many.

19In what kind of land are they living? Is it good or bad? Also, what about the cities in which they are living? Are they unwalled or do they have fortifications?

20How is the soil—fertile or poor? Are there trees on it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)
