Jueces 18:10 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 18:10

When ye go, ye shall come to a people secure, and to a large
land
For though it was but one city, the territories of it were large, and the villages belonging to it might be many; which, with the security of the people, might easily be surprised and taken, not being upon their guard, are the arguments used by the spies to encourage their countrymen to go up and take it, to which they add others:

for God hath given it into your hands;
which they concluded from the state and condition they found the people in, thoughtless and defenceless; or it may be on account of the oracle in Micah's house they had consulted, and to which they gave credit; though some think their faith was grounded upon this place being given by lot to the tribe of Dan, but this does not appear:

a place where there is no want of anything that is in the earth;
in the land of Canaan; meaning, that there was nothing in the whole land but might be found there, as wheat and barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olives, and honey, with all other necessaries and conveniences of life.

Jueces 18:10 In-Context

8 Cuando los hombres regresaron a Zora y a Estaol, sus parientes les preguntaron:
—¿Qué encontraron?

9 Los hombres les contestaron:
—¡Vamos, ataquémoslos! Hemos visto la tierra, y es muy buena. ¿Qué esperan? No duden en ir y tomar posesión de ella.

10 Cuando lleguen, verán que los habitantes llevan una vida despreocupada. Dios nos ha dado un territorio espacioso y fértil, ¡que no carece de nada!

11 Entonces seiscientos hombres de la tribu de Dan salieron de Zora y de Estaol armados para la guerra.

12 Acamparon en un lugar situado al occidente de Quiriat-jearim, en Judá, por eso hasta el día de hoy se llama Mahne-dan.
