Deuteronomy 1:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ This seemed to be a very good idea to me. I chose twelve of your men, one from each tribe. ²⁴ They left and went up into the hill country and reached the Valley of Eshcol which they explored. ²⁵ They gathered some of the fruit of the land and brought it down to us, reporting, “The land that the Lord, our God, has given us is good.”
