22 They went through the southern area to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak lived. (The city of Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 In the Valley of Eshcol, they cut off a branch of a grapevine that had one bunch of grapes on it and carried that branch on a pole between two of them. They also got some pomegranates and figs.
24 That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because the Israelites cut off the bunch of grapes there.
25 After forty days of exploring the land, the men returned to the camp.
26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and all the Israelites at Kadesh, in the Desert of Paran. The men reported to them and showed everybody the fruit from the land.
27 They told Moses, “We went to the land where you sent us, and it is a fertile land! Here is some of its fruit.
28 But the people who live there are strong. Their cities are walled and very large. We even saw some Anakites there.
