Eschol

Numbers 13:23-24 - When they reached the Valley of Eshcol, 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 and figs. That place was called the Valley of Eshcol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there.

I wonder what the locals had called the Valley of Eschol before the Israelites renamed it Cluster Valley.

I wonder how heavy the cluster of grapes was. Were the grapes extra large or were there just a huge amount of them in the cluster? Maybe both.

I'm curious. Could you please tell me what brought you to this page by mentioning it in a comment? I won't publish the comment, if you ask me not to.
