Canaan » Land of » Spies sent into, by moses
When Moses sent them to explore Canaan, he told them: Go through the Negev and then into the mountain region. See what the land is like and whether the people there are strong or weak, few or many. Is the land they live in good or bad? Do their cities have walls around them or not? read more.
Is the soil rich or poor? Does the land have trees or not? Do your best to bring back some fruit from the land. It was the season when grapes were beginning to ripen. So they spied on the land from the wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, at Lebo-hamath. When they went to the Negev, they came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak were. Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt. At Eshcol Valley they cut off a branch with only one bunch of grapes on it. They carried it on a pole between two of them. They also brought some pomegranates and figs. So they called that valley Eshcol (Bunch of Grapes) because of the bunch of grapes the Israelites cut off there. Forty days later they returned from exploring the land. They returned to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. They gave their report and showed them the fruit from the land. This is their report to Moses: We went to the land where you sent us. It really is a land flowing with milk and honey. Here is some of its fruit. The people who live there are strong. The cities have walls and are very large. We even saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites live in the Negev. The Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the mountain region. The Canaanites live along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and all along the Jordan River.
