In Parshat Shlach, we read about the 40 days that the scouts checked out the Land of Israel. We don’t know about all of the places that they went to but we do know the following (Bamidbar 13:21-24):

They went up and they scouted the Land from the desert of Tzin to the expanse at the approach to Hamat. They went up into the southern part of the Land and came to Hevron…They arrived at Nachal Eshkol (The Wadi of Eshkol) and from there they cut off a branch and one cluster of grapes…That place was called Nachal Eshkol, because of the cluster that B’nai Yisrael cut from there.

We don’t know exactly which wadi is Nachal Eshkol, but it must have been in the region of Hevron, which we read about in the prior verse.........
