Judges 18:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ And the five men went and came to Laish, and they observed the people who were living according to the customs of the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting, and lacking nothing in the land, and possessing restraint.^[a] And they were far from the Sidonians and had no word with anyone. ⁸ They came to their relatives^[b] at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their relatives^[c] said to them, “What do you report?” ⁹ And they said to them, “Come, let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and it is very good. Will you do nothing? Do not hesitate to go, to enter, to possess the land.
