18And at that time I gave you all the orders which you were to do.
19Then we went on from Horeb, through all that great and cruel waste which you saw, on our way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the Lord gave us orders; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20And I said to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.
21See now, the Lord your God has put the land into your hands: go up and take it, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said to you; have no fear and do not be troubled.
22And you came near to me, every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us to go through the land with care and give us an account of the way we are to go and the towns to which we will come.
23And what you said seemed good to me, and I took twelve men from among you, one from every tribe;
24And they went up into the hill-country and came to the valley of Eshcol, and saw what was there.
