Josué 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.

Josué 2:24 In-Context

22 Ils s'en allèrent donc et vinrent à la montagne, et demeurèrent là trois jours, jusqu'à ce que ceux qui les poursuivaient fussent de retour. Et ceux qui les poursuivaient les cherchèrent par tout le chemin, et ils ne les trouvèrent point.

23 Les deux hommes s'en retournèrent alors, descendirent de la montagne et, passant le Jourdain, ils vinrent vers Josué, fils de Nun, et lui racontèrent tout ce qui leur était arrivé.

24 Et ils dirent à Josué: Certaine-ment l'Éternel a livré tout le pays entre nos mains; et même, tous les habitants du pays ont perdu courage devant nous.
