The scouts begin their mission, going "up into the mountain" (the Amorite territory) and arriving at the valley of Eshcol, a region known for its abundance. They search thoroughly, gathering information about the land's resources, cities, and defensive capabilities. This reconnaissance is comprehensive and professional.
