Joshua 2:24 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 2:24

And they said unto Joshua
Made a report of what they had got knowledge of, which answered the end of their mission:

truly the Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land:
which they concluded by the terror the inhabitants of it were in, and so in no condition to make resistance and defend themselves; and they not only judged of the whole land by the case of the inhabitants of Jericho, but were assured by Rahab that all the inhabitants of the land were in the same plight and condition, ( Joshua 2:9 ) ;

for even the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us;
this was the temper and disposition they appeared in, and seems to be what Joshua was chiefly desirous of knowing; since nothing else is told by the spies nor inquired of by him, but immediately upon this report began his march towards Canaan, as in the next chapter is related.

Joshua 2:24 In-Context

22 When the spies left, they went up into the hills. They stayed there for three days. By that time the men who were chasing them had searched all along the road. They couldn't find them. So they returned.

23 Then the two spies started back. They went down out of the hills. They went across the Jordan River. They came to Joshua, the son of Nun. They told him everything that had happened to them.

24 They said, "We're sure the LORD has given the whole land over to us. All of the people there are weak with fear because of us."
