²¹ So they went up and spied out the land ^(A)from the Wilderness of Zin as far as ^(B)Rehob, near the entrance of ^(C)Hamath. ²² And they went up through the South and came to ^(D)Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of ^(E)Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) ^23 (F)Then they came to the ^[a]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 ^[b]Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there. ²⁵ And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.
