And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 18 of Judges. The spies reach Laish and describe the city as isolated, secure, and without allies. They return to Dan and recommend conquering it. The narrative explains that Laish offers favorable military conditions while Dan faces difficulties in its original territory. The search for a new inheritance shows how the tribes act according to their own interests during the absence of effective central authority.

Sie sprachen: Auf, laßt uns zu ihnen hinaufziehen! denn wir haben das Land besehen, das ist sehr gut. Darum eilt und seid nicht faul zu ziehen, daß ihr kommt, das Land einzunehmen.
Levantaos, subamos contra ellos; porque nosotros hemos explorado la región, y hemos visto que es muy buena: ¿y vosotros os estáis quedos? no seáis perezosos en poneros en marcha para ir a poseer la tierra.
Ellos respondieron: «¡Levántense y subamos contra ellos! Hemos visto la tierra, y es muy buena. ¿Van a quedarse sin hacer nada? No sean perezosos para ponerse en marcha y tomar posesión de la tierra.
Allons! répondirent-ils, montons contre eux; car nous avons vu le pays, et voici, il est très bon. Quoi! vous restez sans rien dire! Ne soyez point paresseux à vous mettre en marche pour aller prendre possession de ce pays.
Ed essi dissero; Or su, saliamo contro a quella gente: perciocchè noi abbiamo veduto il paese, ed ecco, egli è grandemente buono: e voi ve ne state a bada? non siate pigri a mettervi in cammino, per andare a prender possessione di quel paese.
E eles disseram: Levantai-vos, e subamos contra eles; porque examinamos a terra, e eis que é muitíssimo boa. E vós estareis aqui tranqüilos? Não sejais preguiçosos em irdes para entrar a possuir esta terra.
他們說:「起來,我們上去攻打他們吧!我們已經窺探了那地,看哪,那地非常好。你們還要待在這裏嗎?不要再遲延了,立刻出發去得那地為業吧!
