5And they say to him, `Ask, we pray thee, at God, and we know whether our way is prosperous on which we are going.`
6And the priest saith to them, `Go in peace; over-against Jehovah [is] your way in which ye go.`
7And the five men go, and come in to Laish, and see the people which [is] in its midst, dwelling confidently, according to the custom of Zidonians, quiet and confident; and there is none putting to shame in the land in [any] thing, possessing restraint, and they [are] far off from the Zidonians, and have no word with [any] man.
8And they come in unto their brethren, at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren say to them, `What -- ye?`
9And they say, `Rise, and we go up against them, for we have seen the land, and lo, very good; and ye are keeping silent! be not slothful to go -- to enter to possess the land.
10When ye go, ye come in unto a people confident, and the land [is] large on both hands, for God hath given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything which [is] in the land.`
11And there journey thence, of the family of the Danite, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, six hundred men girded with weapons of war.
