25 After exploring the land for forty days, the spies returned

Numbers 13:25 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 13:25

And they returned from searching the land after forty days.
] The Targum of Jonathan adds, on the eighth day of the month Ab, which answers to part of July and part of August; so that this must be towards the latter end of July: some Jewish writers F11 say it was the ninth of Ab; hence the tradition, that it was decreed on the ninth of Ab concerning their fathers, that they should not enter into the land {l}.

The Legal and Vital Work of Salvation Part 43: Why Hebrews 6 Actually Guarantees Eternal Security
The Legal and Vital Work of Salvation Part 43: Why Hebrews 6 Actually Guarantees Eternal Security
Dr. Abel Damina

Does Hebrews 6's warning about "falling away" actually threaten a believer's salvation? Dr. Abel Damina argues the opposite: since the passage says a fallen-away person would "crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh," and Christ's one sacrifice makes a second crucifixion literally impossible, the passage proves the reverse — a believer in Christ cannot fall away. "It's impossible for a man in Christ to lose salvation," he says, calling this "the scripture that guarantees eternal salvation." In this message from Reintroducing Jesus, Beyond Religion, Dr. Damina works through one of the New Testament's most-debated warning passages to argue it actually anchors assurance rather than threatening it.

Numbers 13:25 In-Context

23 They came to Eshcol Valley, and there they cut off a branch which had one bunch of grapes on it so heavy that it took two men to carry it on a pole between them. They also brought back some pomegranates and figs
24 (That place was named Eshcol Valley because of the bunch of grapes the Israelites cut off there.)
25 After exploring the land for forty days, the spies returned
26 to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel at Kadesh in the wilderness of Paran. They reported what they had seen and showed them the fruit they had brought.
27 They told Moses, "We explored the land and found it to be rich and fertile; and here is some of its fruit.
