Numbers 13:20-22
New Catholic Bible
20 How is the land, is it fertile or poor? Are there trees or not? Try to bring back some of the fruit of the land” (for it was the season of the first ripe grapes).
21 So they went up and explored the land, from the Desert of Zin up to Rehob, near the entrance to Lebo-hamath.[a] 22 They went up into the Negeb and came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, descendants of Anak dwelt. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
Footnotes
- Numbers 13:21 Lebo-hamath was near Lebanon. The sacred writer sees the exploration as extending to the ideal border in the north; in fact, the places explored were far more limited.
