Contextual Overview

19 "Then we left Mount Sinai. We went through the big desert you saw which fills people with fear, on the way to the hill country of the Amorites, just as the Lord our God had told us. And we came to Kadesh-barnea. 20 I said to you, ‘You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God will give us. 21 See, the Lord your God has set the land in front of you. Go and take it for your own, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or troubled.' 22 Then all of you came to me and said, ‘Let us send men before us, to spy out the land for us. They will return and tell us which way we should go and which cities we will come to.' 23 What you said pleased me. I took twelve of your men, one man for each family group. 24 They went up into the hill country, came to the valley of Eshcol, and saw what was there. 25 They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us. And they told us that it is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us. 26 "Yet you would not go up. You went against what the Lord your God told you to do. 27 You complained in your tents, saying, ‘Because the Lord hates us He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to give us to the Amorites to destroy us. 28 Where would we be going? Our brothers have made our hearts weak with fear, saying, ‘The people are bigger and taller than we. The cities are large, with walls as high as the heavens. And we have even seen the sons of the Anakim there.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they turned and went up into the mountain,.... As they were ordered and directed by Moses, Numbers 13:17

and came unto the valley of Eshcol; so called from the cluster of grapes they cut down there, as they returned:

and searched it out; the whole land, and so were capable of giving a particular account of it.
