Nombres 14:7 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 14:7

And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel,
&c.] To as many as could hear them, to the heads of them:

saying, the land which we passed through to search it, [is] an
exceeding good land;
they observe that they were of the number of the spies that were appointed and sent to search the land of Canaan, and they had searched it, and therefore could give an account of it from their own knowledge; and they had not only entered into it, or just looked at a part of it, but they had gone through it, and taken a general survey of it; and they could not but in truth and justice say of it, that it was a good land, delightful, healthful, and fruitful; yea, "very, very good" F17, exceeding, exceeding good, superlatively good, good beyond expression; they were not able with words to set forth the goodness of it; this they reported, in opposition to the ill report the other spies had given of it.

Nombres 14:7 In-Context

5 Alors Moïse et Aaron tombèrent sur leurs visages, devant toute l'assemblée des enfants d'Israël.
6 Et Josué, fils de Nun, et Caleb, fils de Jephunné, d'entre ceux qui avaient exploré le pays, déchirèrent leurs vêtements.
7 Et ils parlèrent à toute l'assemblée des enfants d'Israël, en disant: Le pays que nous avons parcouru pour l'explorer, est un fort bon pays.
8 Si l'Éternel nous est favorable, il nous fera entrer dans ce pays, et nous le donnera; c'est un pays où coulent le lait et le miel.
9 Seulement, ne vous révoltez point contre l'Éternel, et ne craignez point le peuple du pays; car ils seront notre pain; leur protection s'est retirée de dessus eux, et l'Éternel est avec nous; ne les craignez point.
