SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:26
¶ Y anduvieron y vinieron a Moisés y a Aarón, y a toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, en el desierto de Parán, en Cades, y les dieron la respuesta, y a toda la congregación, y les mostraron el fruto de la tierra.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. And they went, and came to Moses, and to Aaron , etc.] They proceeded on their journey from Eshcol, till they came to the camp of Israel; and as soon as they came there, went directly to Moses and to Aaron, before they went into their own tents, as Aben Ezra observes: and to all the congregation of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran , to Kadesh ; that is, Kadeshbarnea, as appears from ( Joshua 14:7); called for brevity’s sake Kadesh; but is by some thought to be different from the Kadesh in ( Numbers 20:1); to which the Israelites came not until thirty eight years after this time: this Kadesh was in the wilderness of Paran, and the same with Rithmah, or was near it, where the Israelites were now encamped, and had remained all the time the spies were gone: the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan call this place Rekem, as they do in ( Genesis 16:14); and brought back word unto them, and to all the congregation : to Moses and Aaron, and the principal heads of the body of the people assembled together: to these they related an account of their tour through the land of Canaan, what they had met with, and what observations they had made, agreeably to the instructions that had been given them when they set out: and showed them the fruit of the land ; which they had brought with them, the bunch of grapes, pomegranates, and figs.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26-33 - We may wonder that the people of Israel staid forty days for the retur of their spies, when they were ready to enter Canaan, under all the assurances of success they could have from the Divine power, and the miracles that had hitherto attended them. But they distrusted God' power and promise. How much we stand in our own light by our unbelief At length the messengers returned; but the greater part discouraged the people from going forward to Canaan. Justly are the Israelites left to this temptation, for putting confidence in the judgment of men, when they had the word of God to trust in. Though they had found the land a good as God had said, yet they would not believe it to be as sure as he had said, but despaired of having it, though Eternal Truth had engage it to them. This was the representation of the evil spies. Caleb however, encouraged them to go forward, though seconded by Joshua only He does not say, Let us go up and conquer it; but, Let us go an possess it. Difficulties that are in the way of salvation, dwindle an vanish before a lively, active faith in the power and promise of God All things are possible, if they are promised, to him that believes but carnal sense and carnal professors are not to be trusted. Unbelie overlooks the promises and power of God, magnifies every danger an difficulty, and fills the heart with discouragement. May the Lord hel us to believe! we shall then find all things possible __________________________________________________________________
