So the two men returned. They descended from the hill country. They crossed the river, came to Joshua son of Nun, and told him all that they had discovered.
They went and came to the hill country. They stayed there three days, until the pursuers returned. The pursuers had sought them all along the way but had not found them.
They said, “Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. Do you stand still? Do not be slow to go, to enter and possess the land.
When you go, you will come to a secure people and to an expansive land. For God has given it into your hands: a place where there is no lack of anything on the earth.”
