4 And he said to them, “Miḵah did such and such for me. And he hired me, and I have become his priest.”
5 And they said to him, “Please inquire of Elohim, and we shall know whether the journey on which we are going is prosperous.”
6 And the priest said to them, “Go in peace. Your journey on which you go is before יהוה.”
7 Then the five men left and came to Layish, and saw the people who were in their midst, how they dwelt safely, according to the ruling of the Tsiḏonians, at rest and unsuspecting. And no one possessing authority in the land was reproaching for any matter. And they were far from the Tsiḏonians, and they had no word with anyone.
8 And the spies came back to their brothers at Tsor‛ah and Eshta’ol, and their brothers said to them, “What do you say?”
9 And they said, “Arise, and let us go up against them. For we have seen the land, and look, it is very good. And you sit still! Do not hesitate to go to enter in to possess the land.
10 “When you go, you are to come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is spacious. For Elohim has given it into your hands, a place in which there is no lack of any matter which is on the earth.”
