Numbers 13:21
Compare all
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.

Numbers 13:21

The wilderness of Zin was the northeastern portion of the wilderness of Paran.

Rehob ("mod." Khurbeh) was probably the Beth-rehob of Judges 18:28, near Dan-Laish; and apparently to the north of it, since it gave its name to a Syrian kingdom II Samuel 8:3. The southern approach to Hamath from the plain of Coele-Syria, lay between those two ranges of Lebanon called Libanus and Antilibanus. A low screen of hills connects the northernmost points of these two ranges; and through this screen the Orontes bursts from the upper Coele-Syrian hollow into the open plain of Hamath.
