¹⁷ Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”

¹⁵ for all the land which you see ^(A)I give to you and ^(B)your ^[a]descendants forever.

¹⁷ Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way into the South, and go up to ^(A)the mountains, ¹⁸ and see what the land is like: whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many; ¹⁹ whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds; ²⁰ whether the land is ^[a]rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. ^(B)Be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

²¹ So they went up and spied out the land ^(C)from the Wilderness of Zin as far as ^(D)Rehob, near the entrance of ^(E)Hamath. ²² And they went up through the South and came to ^(F)Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of ^(G)Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) ^23 (H)Then they came to the ^[b]Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. ²⁴ The place was called the Valley of ^[c]Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there.
