Shofetim 18:6-8
Orthodox Jewish Bible
6 And the kohen said unto them, Go in shalom; your derech wherein ye go is nokhach Hashem (straight in the sight of Hashem).
7 Then the five anashim departed, and came to Layish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the mishpat of the Tzidonim, quiet and unsuspecting; and there was no one in authority in the land, that might put them to shame for anything; but they were far from the Tzidonim, and had no ties with adam.
8 And they returned unto their achim to Tzorah and Eshta’ol; and their achim said unto them, Mah atem (What do you [report]?)

7 So the five men(B) left and came to Laish,(C) where they saw that the people were living in safety, like the Sidonians, at peace and secure.(D) And since their land lacked nothing, they were prosperous.[a] Also, they lived a long way from the Sidonians(E) and had no relationship with anyone else.[b]
8 When they returned to Zorah and Eshtaol, their fellow Danites asked them, “How did you find things?”
