21. So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath. 22. And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23. And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

Wilderness of Zin. This should not be confused with the Wilderness of Sin, near Mt. Sinai (Ex. 16:1). Kadesh was situated in the Wilderness of Zin (Num. 20:1; 27:14; 33:36; 34:3, 4; Deut. 32:51; Joshua 15:1, 3), which was either included in or merged into the Wilderness of Paran (see ch. 13:3).

Unto Rehob. This could have been either the Rehob near the Sea of Galilee, or another, farther north, near the Orontes River.
