Deuteronomy 1:18-25 - Instructions At Kadesh Barnea
18 And I commanded you the same season, all the things which ye should do.
19 And then we departed from Horeb and walked through all that great and terrible wilderness, as ye have seen along by the way that leadeth unto the hills of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us, and came to Kadesh Barnea. 20 And there I said unto you, 'Ye are come unto the hills of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us. 21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee. Go up and conquer it, as the LORD God of thy fathers sayeth unto thee: fear not, neither be discouraged.'
22 And then ye came unto me every one and said, 'Let us send men before us, to search us out the land and to bring us word again, both what way we shall go up by, and unto what cities we shall come.' 23 And the saying pleased me well, and I took twelve men of you; of every tribe, one. 24 And they departed and went up into the high country and came unto the river Eshcol, and searched it out, 25 and took of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down unto us and brought us word again, and said, 'It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.'
