The thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:
The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to see the land.
You came near to me everyone of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.
and they turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshkol, and spied it out.
