In context
20See whether the land is rich or poor, whether there are trees in it or not. And be courageous, and bring back some of the fruit of the land.” Now it was the season of the first ripe grapes. 21So they went up and scouted out the land, from the wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo-hamath. 22They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were living. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23They came to the Valley of Eshcol and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, which two of them carried on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates and figs. 24That place was named the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster the Israelites cut down there.
