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 Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
24 The place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there.
25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.
26 Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Then they told him, and said: "We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
