17 And Moses * h4872 sent * h7971 h8799 them to spy out * h8446 h8800 the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667, and said * h559 h8799 unto them, Get you up * h5927 h8798 this way southward * h5045, and go up * h5927 h8804 into the mountain * h2022:
18 And see * h7200 h8804 the land * h776, what it is ; and the people * h5971 that dwelleth * h3427 h8802 therein, whether they be strong * h2389 or weak * h7504, few * h4592 or many * h7227;

And be ye of good courage * h2388 h8694, and bring * h3947 h8804 of the fruit * h6529 of the land * h776. Now the time * h3117 was the time * h3117 of the firstripe * h1061 grapes * h6025.
21 So they went up * h5927 h8799, and searched * h8446 h8799 the land * h776 from the wilderness * h4057 of Zin * h6790 unto Rehob * h7340, as men come * h935 h8800 to Hamath * h2574.
22 And they ascended * h5927 h8799 by the south * h5045, and came * h935 h8799 unto Hebron * h2275; where Ahiman * h289, Sheshai * h8344, and Talmai * h8526, the children * h3211 of Anak * h6061, were . (Now Hebron * h2275 was built * h1129 h8738 seven * h7651 years * h8141 before * h6440 Zoan * h6814 in Egypt * h4714.)
23 And they came * h935 h8799 unto the brook * h5158 of Eshcol * h812, and cut down * h3772 h8799 from thence a branch * h2156 with one * h259 cluster * h811 of grapes * h6025, and they bare * h5375 h8799 it between two * h8147 upon a staff * h4132; and they brought of the pomegranates * h7416, and of the figs * h8384. brook: or, valley
24 The place * h4725 was called * h7121 h8804 the brook * h5158 Eshcol * h812, because of * h182 the cluster of grapes * h811 which the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 cut down * h3772 h8804 from thence. brook: or, valley Eshcol: that is, A cluster of grapes
25 And they returned * h7725 h8799 from searching * h8446 h8800 of the land * h776 after * h7093 forty * h705 days * h3117.
26 And they went * h3212 h8799 and came * h935 h8799 to Moses * h4872, and to Aaron * h175, and to all the congregation * h5712 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, unto the wilderness * h4057 of Paran * h6290, to Kadesh * h6946; and brought back * h7725 h8686 word * h1697 unto them, and unto all the congregation * h5712, and shewed * h7200 h8686 them the fruit * h6529 of the land * h776.
27 And they told * h5608 h8762 him, and said * h559 h8799, We came * h935 h8804 unto the land * h776 whither thou sentest * h7971 h8804 us, and surely it floweth * h2100 h8802 with milk * h2461 and honey * h1706; and this is the fruit * h6529 of it.
28 Nevertheless * h657 the people * h5971 be strong * h5794 that dwell * h3427 h8802 in the land * h776, and the cities * h5892 are walled * h1219 h8803, and very * h3966 great * h1419: and moreover we saw * h7200 h8804 the children * h3211 of Anak * h6061 there.
29 The Amalekites * h6002 dwell * h3427 h8802 in the land * h776 of the south * h5045: and the Hittites * h2850, and the Jebusites * h2983, and the Amorites * h567, dwell * h3427 h8802 in the mountains * h2022: and the Canaanites * h3669 dwell * h3427 h8802 by the sea * h3220, and by the coast * h3027 of Jordan * h3383.
30 And Caleb * h3612 stilled * h2013 h8686 the people * h5971 before Moses * h4872, and said * h559 h8799, Let us go up * h5927 h8799 at once * h5927 h8800, and possess * h3423 h8804 it; for we are well able * h3201 h8799 to overcome * h3201 h8800 it.
31 But the men * h582 that went up * h5927 h8804 with him said * h559 h8804, We be not able * h3201 h8799 to go up * h5927 h8800 against the people * h5971; for they are stronger * h2389 than we.
32 And they brought up * h3318 h8686 an evil report * h1681 of the land * h776 which they had searched * h8446 h8804 unto the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, saying * h559 h8800, The land * h776, through which we have gone * h5674 h8804 to search * h8446 h8800 it, is a land * h776 that eateth up * h398 h8802 the inhabitants * h3427 h8802 thereof; and all the people * h5971 that we saw * h7200 h8804 in it * h8432 are men * h582 of a great stature * h4060. men...: Heb. men of statures
33 And there we saw * h7200 h8804 the giants * h5303, the sons * h1121 of Anak * h6061, which come of the giants * h5303: and we were in our own sight * h5869 as grasshoppers * h2284, and so we were in their sight * h5869.
