Numbers 13:17-20 ▼

17 So Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan and said to them, “Go up there into the Negev; then go up into the hill country.

18 And see what the land is like, and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many.

19 And how is the land in which they live, is it good or bad? And how are the cities in which they live, are they like open camps or with fortifications?

20 And how is the land, is it fat or lean? Are there trees in it or not? Make an effort then to get some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
