'Investigated' in the Bible

So they went up and investigated the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, at the entrance of Hamath.

Then they presented the Israelites with a discouraging report of the land they had investigated, saying, "The land that we passed through to investigate is a land that devours its inhabitants. All the people we saw there are of great stature.

And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, two of those who had investigated the land, tore their garments.

According to the number of the days you have investigated this land, forty days -- one day for a year -- you will suffer for your iniquities, forty years, and you will know what it means to thwart me.
