Deuteronomy 1:19-25 ▼

19 And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which you have seen, the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as our God YHWH has commanded us, and we come to Kadesh-Barnea.

20 And I say to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorite, which our God YHWH is giving to us;

21 see, your God YHWH has set the land before you; go up, possess, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not fear, nor be frightened.

22 And you come near to me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search the land for us, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities to which we come in;

23 and the thing is good in my eyes, and I take twelve men from you, one man for the tribe.

24 And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come to the Valley of Eshcol, and spy it out,

25 and they take in their hand from the fruit of the land, and bring [it] down to us, and bring us back word, and say, The land is good which our God YHWH is giving to us.
