Numbers 13:17-20 - The Spies' Instructions
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan and said unto them, Go up this way towards the Negev and go up into the mountain 18 and see the land, what it is, and the people that dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, few or many, 19 and how the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad, and what cities there are that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds, 20 And what the land is, whether it is fertile or sterile, whether there are trees therein, or not. And be ye of good courage and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
