Eshcol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eshcol (/ˈɛʃˌkɒl/, Template:Langx ’Eškōl) is a term in the Hebrew Bible. It may refer to:
- One of three Amorite confederates of Abram in the Hebron area, who, with his brothers Mamre and Aner, joined forces with those of Abram in pursuit of king Chedorlaomer and his armies who had taken Abram's nephew Lot and others as captives. (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".)
- A valley in which the twelve spies obtained an enormous cluster of grapes in Script error: No such module "Bibleverse"., at "the brook Eshcol" (called "the valley of Eshcol" in Script error: No such module "Bibleverse". and Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".), which they took back with them to the camp of Israel as a specimen of the fruits of the Promised Land.[a] The Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia notes that the valley is still very fruitful.

- ^ Easton on Eshcol: 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.", see Palmer's Desert of the Exodus.
