Deuteronomy 1:25 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:25

And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands
Besides the cluster of grapes, which was carried between two men on a staff; even pomegranates and figs, ( Numbers 13:23 ) ,

and brought it down unto us;
who lay encamped at the bottom of the mountain:

and brought us word again;
what sort of a land it was:

and said, it is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us;
that is, Caleb and Joshua, two of the spies, said this, as the Targum of Jonathan expresses it, and so Jarchi; yea, all of them agreed in this, and said at first that it was a land flowing with milk and honey, ( Numbers 13:27 ) .
