22And ye came nearunto me every one of you, and said,We will sendmenbeforeus, and they shall search us outthe land,and bringus wordagainby what waywe must go up,and into what citieswe shall come.23And the sayingpleased me well:and I tooktwelvemenof you, oneof a tribe:24And they turnedand went upinto the mountain,and cameunto the valleyof Eshcol,and searched it out.25And they tookof the fruitof the landin their hands,and brought [it] downunto us, and broughtus wordagain,and said,[It is] a goodlandwhich the LORDour Goddoth giveus.
