Deuteronomy 1:23 Context
21Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: Goe vp, and possesse it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said vnto thee: Feare not, neither be discouraged. 22¶ And ye came neere vnto mee euery one of you, and said, We will send men before vs, and they shall search vs out the land, and bring vs word againe, by what way we must goe vp, and into what cities we shall come. 23And the saying pleased mee well: and I tooke twelue men of you, one of a tribe. 24And they turned and went vp into the mountaine, and came vnto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out. 25And they tooke of the fruit of the land in their handes, and brought it downe vnto vs, and brought vs worde againe, and said, It is a good lande which the Lord our God doeth giue vs.
