The spies showing the fertility of Canaan.
Numbers 13:23-26


And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomengranates, and of the figs. The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence. And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wildernes of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. (KJV)
