24 Und sie sprachen zu Josua: Jehova hat das ganze Land in unsere Hand gegeben, und auch sind alle Bewohner des Landes vor uns verzagt.

Josua 2:24 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 2:24

And they said unto Joshua
Made a report of what they had got knowledge of, which answered the end of their mission:

truly the Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land:
which they concluded by the terror the inhabitants of it were in, and so in no condition to make resistance and defend themselves; and they not only judged of the whole land by the case of the inhabitants of Jericho, but were assured by Rahab that all the inhabitants of the land were in the same plight and condition, ( Joshua 2:9 ) ;

for even the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us;
this was the temper and disposition they appeared in, and seems to be what Joshua was chiefly desirous of knowing; since nothing else is told by the spies nor inquired of by him, but immediately upon this report began his march towards Canaan, as in the next chapter is related.

Josua 2:24 In-Context

22 Und sie gingen weg und kamen in das Gebirge und blieben daselbst drei Tage, bis die Nachjagenden zurückgekehrt waren. Und die Nachjagenden suchten sie auf dem ganzen Wege und fanden sie nicht.

23 Und die beiden Männer kehrten zurück und stiegen von dem Gebirge herab, und sie gingen hinüber und kamen zu Josua, dem Sohne Nuns; und sie erzählten ihm alles, was ihnen begegnet war.

24 Und sie sprachen zu Josua: Jehova hat das ganze Land in unsere Hand gegeben, und auch sind alle Bewohner des Landes vor uns verzagt.
