Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Numbers 13:21-24.


Numbers 13:23

_ _ they came unto the brook of Eshcol — that is, “the torrent of the cluster.” Its location was a little to the southwest of Hebron. The valley and its sloping hills are still covered with vineyards, the character of whose fruit corresponds to its ancient celebrity.

_ _ and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes — The grapes reared in this locality are still as magnificent as formerly — they are said by one to be equal in size to prunes, and compared by another to a man’s thumb. One cluster sometimes weighs ten or twelve pounds. The mode of carrying the cluster cut down by the spies, though not necessary from its weight, was evidently adopted to preserve it entire as a specimen of the productions of the promised land; and the impression made by the sight of it would be all the greater because the Israelites were familiar only with the scanty vines and small grapes of Egypt.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Numbers 13:21-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Numbers 13:23

Upon a staff — Either for the weight of it, considering the, length of the way they were to carry it, or for the preservation of it whole and entire. In those eastern and southern countries there are vines and grapes of an extraordinary bigness as Strabo and Pliny affirm.
