7 So the five men departed and came to Laish (lion), where they saw that the people were living securely, like the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting. There was nothing lacking in the land and no oppressive ruler. And they were far away from the Sidonians and had no alliance with anyone. 8 When the men returned to Zorah (hornet) and Eshtaol (entreaty), their brothers asked them, “What did you⁺ find?” 9 They answered, “Come on, let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and it is very good. Why would you⁺ fail to act? Do not hesitate to go there and take possession of the land! 10 When you⁺ enter, you⁺ will come to an unsuspecting people and a spacious land, for God {Elohim} has delivered it into your⁺ hand. It is a place where nothing on earth is lacking.” Judges 18:7-10, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
