²⁴ And they went up into the hill-country and came to the valley of Eshcol, and saw what was there.

²¹ So they went up and got a view of the land, from the waste land of Zin to Rehob, on the way to Hamath.

²² They went up into the South and came to Hebron; and Ahiman and Sheshai and Talmai, the children of Anak, were living there. (Now the building of Hebron took place seven years before that of Zoan in Egypt.)

²³ And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some pomegranates and figs.

²⁴ That place was named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.

²⁵ At the end of forty days they came back from viewing the land.

²⁶ And they came back to Moses and Aaron and all the children of Israel, to Kadesh in the waste land of Paran; and gave an account to them and to all the people and let them see the produce of the land.

²⁷ And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.

¹ Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim secretly, with the purpose of searching out the land, and Jericho. So they went and came to the house of a loose woman of the town, named Rahab, where they took their rest for the night.

² And it was said to the king of Jericho, See, some men have come here tonight from the children of Israel with the purpose of searching out the land.
