Numbers 13:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ Moses sent the 12 men to check out Canaan. He said, “Go up through the Negev Desert. Go on into the central hill country. ¹⁸ See what the land is like. See whether the people who live there are strong or weak. See whether they are few or many. ¹⁹ What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Do the towns have high walls around them or not?
