Midrash Tanchuma Buber · Sh'lach, Chapter 16

‹›
  1. 1

    למקום ההוא קרא נחל אשכול וגו' (שם יג כד). זש"ה מגיד מראשית אחרית [ומקד אשר לא נעשו] (ישעיה מו י), שהכל צפוי לפני הקב"ה, אשכול אוהבו של אברהם היה, ונקרא אשכול על אודות האשכול שהיו ישראל עתידין לכרות משם ממקומו.

    (Numb. 13:24:) THAT PLACE WAS CALLED WADI ESHCOL. This text is related (to Is. 46:10): DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, [AND FROM OF OLD, THINGS THAT HAVE NOT YET HAPPENED], in that everything is foreseen by the Holy One.40Tanh., Numb. 4:9; Numb. R. 16:16. Eshcol (according to Gen. 14:24) was Abraham's friend, and he was called Eshcol because of the grape cluster (eshkol), which Israel was going to cut from his place in his name.
