Numbers 13:21-23
New Catholic Bible
21 So they went up and explored the land, from the Desert of Zin up to Rehob, near the entrance to Lebo-hamath.[a] 22 They went up into the Negeb and came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, descendants of Anak dwelt. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol.[b] There they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes. Two men carried it on a pole. They also brought along some pomegranates and figs.
Footnotes
- Numbers 13:21 Lebo-hamath was near Lebanon. The sacred writer sees the exploration as extending to the ideal border in the north; in fact, the places explored were far more limited.
- Numbers 13:23 The Valley of Eshcol is near Hebron in southern Canaan. Eshcol means “cluster.”
