16These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.
17So Moses sent them to have a look at the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up into the South and into the hill-country;
18And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;
19And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their living-places are, tent-circles or walled towns;
20And if the land is fertile or poor, and if there is wood in it or not. And be of good heart, and come back with some of the produce of the land. Now it was the time when the first grapes were ready.
21So they went up and got a view of the land, from the waste land of Zin to Rehob, on the way to Hamath.
22They went up into the South and came to Hebron; and Ahiman and Sheshai and Talmai, the children of Anak, were living there. (Now the building of Hebron took place seven years before that of Zoan in Egypt.)
