26 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel:
of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one
a ruler among them. ... And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel,
unto the wilderness of Paran, to
Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

7 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in
Gilgal: and
Caleb the son of Jephunneh the
Kenezite said unto him,
Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses
the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea. ... Forty years old [
was] I when Moses the servant of the LORD
sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and
I brought him word again as [
it was] in mine heart.
