Numbers 13:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 13:21

19 whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds;

20 whether the land is rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. ^aBe of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

21 So they went up and spied out the land ^afrom the Wilderness of Zin as far as ^bRehob, near the entrance of ^cHamath.

22 And they went up through the South and came to ^aHebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of ^bAnak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

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.
