“They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.”
Deuteronomy 1:24 (WEB)
Context Reading
22You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let’s send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring back to us word of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.” 23The thing pleased me well. I took twelve of your men, one man for every tribe. 24They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out. 25They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, “It is a good land which Yahweh our God gives to us.” 26Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God.
