24 The place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from there.
25 They returned from exploring the land after forty days.
26 And they returned and came to Moses and to Aaron and to all the assembly of the children of Israel, to the Wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought back word to them and to the entire assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 They reported to him and said, “We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is the fruit of it.
28 However, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are fortified and very great, and also we saw the children of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negev, and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the edge of the Jordan.”
30 Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are able to overcome it.”
