Deuteronomy 1:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 I said: “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.

21 See, the LORD your God has placed the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”

22 Then all of you approached me and said, “Let us send men ahead of us to search out the land and bring us word of what route to follow and which cities to enter.”

23 The plan seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.

24 They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out the land.
