Verse 24 is found in chapter 13 of Numbers. The spies confirm that Canaan is a fertile land, but ten of them interpret its inhabitants and fortifications as insurmountable obstacles. Caleb, however, maintains that Israel can advance. The negative report does not deny the fertility of the land; it questions the possibility of conquering it. Thus, the central issue becomes how Israel interprets difficulties in light of God’s promise.

Der Ort heißt Bach Eskol um der Traube willen, die die Kinder Israel daselbst abschnitten.
Y llamose aquel lugar Nahal-escol por el racimo que cortaron de allí los hijos de Israel.
On donna à ce lieu le nom de vallée d'Eschcol, à cause de la grappe que les enfants d'Israël y coupèrent.
E, per cagione di quel grappolo d’uva che i figliuoli d’Israele ne tagliarono, fu posto nome a quel luogo, Nahal-escol.
Chamaram àquele lugar o vale de Escol, por causa do cacho que dali cortaram os filhos de Israel.
以色列 人從那裏砍下一掛葡萄,所以那地方就叫 以實各谷 。
