And the children of Dan sent of their kindreds five men of activity, out of their coasts, even out of Zorah and Eshtaol, to view the land and search it out, and said unto them, "Go and search out the land." And they came to mount Ephraim, even to the house of Micah and lodged there. And when they were come unto the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite, and turned in thither, and said unto him, "Who brought thee hither? And what makest thou in this place? And what hast thou here?" And he said unto them, "Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me and hath hired me to be his priest." read more.
And they said unto him, "Ask of God, I pray thee, that we may know whether the way which we go, shall be prosperous or no." And the priest said unto them, "Go in peace, for the way which ye go is before the LORD." Then the five men departed and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, and after the manner of the Sidonians: still, and without casting of perils, and that no man made any trouble in the land or usurped any dominion, and how they were far from the Sidonians and had no business with any nation. And they came unto their brethren, to Zorah, and Eshtaol. And their brethren said unto them, "What tidings bring you?" And they said, "Up, and let us go unto them, for we have seen the land, that it is very good. Haste therefore and be not slothful to depart and go and conquer the land. When ye be come, ye shall come unto a people that casteth no perils, and unto a large country: for God hath given into your hands a place wherein is no lack of anything that is in the world."
