17When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he told them, “Go up through the Negev and into the hill country.
18See what the land is like and whether its people are strong or weak, few or many.
19Is the land where they live good or bad? Are the cities where they dwell open camps or fortifications?
20Is the soil fertile or unproductive? Are there trees in it or not? Be courageous, and bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)
21So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo-hamath.
