Numbers 13:1-3 CEV
[1] The Lord said to Moses, [2] “Choose a leader from each tribe and send them into Canaan to explore the land I am giving you.” [3] So Moses sent twelve tribal leaders from Israel's camp in the Paran Desert
[25] After exploring the land of Canaan for 40 days, [26] the twelve men returned to Kadesh in the Paran Desert and told Moses, Aaron, and the people what they had seen. They showed them the fruit [27] and said: Look at this fruit! The land we explored is rich with milk and honey. [28] But the people who live there are strong, and their cities are large and walled. We even saw the three Anakim clans. [29] Besides that, the Amalekites live in the Southern Desert; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites are in the hill country; and the Canaanites live along the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.
