Difference between revisions of "Eshcol"

<li> A valley in which the spies obtained a fine cluster of grapes (Numbers 13:23,24; "the brook Eshcol," A.V.; "the valley of Eshcol," RSV), which they took back with them to the camp of [[Israel]] as a specimen of the fruits of the [[Promised]] Land. On their way back they explored the route which led into the south (the Negeb) by the western edge of the mountains at Telilat el-'Anab, i.e., "grape-mounds", near Beersheba. "In one of these extensive valleys, perhaps in [[Wady]] Hanein, where miles of grape-mounds even now meet the eye, they cut the gigantic clusters of grapes, and gathered the pomegranates and figs, to show how goodly was the land which the Lord had promised for their inheritance.", Palmer's [[Desert]] of the Exodus. <div> <p> [[Copyright]] StatementThese dictionary topics are from M.G.
