Numbers 13:24

New English Translation

²⁴That place was called^[a] the Eshcol Valley,^[b] because of the cluster^[c] of grapes that the Israelites cut from there.

Numbers 13:24 tn The verb is rendered as a passive because there is no expressed subject.
Numbers 13:24 tn Or “Wadi Eshcol.” The translation “brook” is too generous; the Hebrew term refers to a river bed, a ravine or valley through which torrents of rain would rush in the rainy season; at other times it might be completely dry.
Numbers 13:24 tn The word “Eshcol” is drawn from the Hebrew expression concerning the “cluster of grapes.” The word is probably retained in the name Burj Haskeh, two miles north of Damascus.
