Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:18 - “See what the land is like, and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:19 - “How is the land in which they live, is it good or bad? And how are the cities in which they live, are they [fn]like open camps or with fortifications?
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 13:20 - “How is the land, is it fat or lean? Are there trees in it or not? [fn]Make an effort then to get some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
