Eshcol, [Esh'col] Yalley of.


Called both a brook and a valley because the one ran in the other, now called a Wady, which are very numerous in Palestine. It was near Hebron, the place explored by the spies, and from whence they carried the huge bunch of grapes. Num. 13: 23, 24; Num. 32: 9; Deut. 1: 24. In the district around Beersheba there are still miles of grape vines.
