Numbers 13:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 13:25

23 ^aThen they came to the¹ Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.

24 The place was called the Valley of¹ Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there.

25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.

26 Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at ^aKadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly¹ flows with ^amilk and honey, ^band this is its fruit.

28 Nevertheless the ^apeople who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of ^bAnak there.
