Judges 18:4
Compare all
2 So the children of Dan sent five men of their family from their territory, men of valor from aZorah and Eshtaol, bto spy out the land and search it. They said to them, “Go, search the land.” So they went to the mountains of Ephraim, to the chouse of Micah, and lodged there.  
3 While they were at the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. They turned aside and said to him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What do you have here?”
4 He said to them, “Thus and so Micah did for me. He has ahired me, and I have become his priest.”  
5 So they said to him, “Please ainquire of bGod, that we may know whether the journey on which we go will be prosperous.”  
6 And the priest said to them, a“Go in peace. The presence of the Lord be with you on your way.”  
7 So the five men departed and went to aLaish. They saw the people who were there, bhow they dwelt safely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure. There were no rulers in the land who might put them to shame for anything. They were far from the cSidonians, and they had no ties with anyone.  
8 Then the spies came back to their brethren at aZorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren said to them, “What is your report?”  
9 So they said, a“Arise, let us go up against them. For we have seen the land, and indeed it is very good. Would you bdo nothing? Do not hesitate to go, and enter to possess the land.  
10 When you go, you will come to a asecure people and a large land. For God has given it into your hands, ba place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.”
