Numbers 13:20

The land itself, whether it be good or bad: what manner of cities, walled or without walls:

Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner, 1752)

In The King James Version

And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

21The ground, fat or barren, woody or without trees. Be of good courage, and bring us of the fruits of the land. Now it was the time when the firstripe grapes are fit to be eaten.
