²³ When they reached the Valley of Eshkol,^[a](A) they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates^(B) and figs.^{(C) 24} That place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there. ²⁵ At the end of forty days^(D) they returned from exploring the land.^(E)
