And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, etc.] Besides the cluster of grapes, which was carried between two men on a staff; even pomegranates and figs, (<041323>Numbers 13:23), and brought it down unto us; who lay encamped at the bottom of the mountain: and brought us word again; what sort of a land it was: and said, it is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us; that is, Caleb and Joshua, two of the spies, said this, as the Targum of Jonathan expresses it, and so Jarchi; yea, all of them agreed in this, and said at first that it was a land flowing with milk and honey, (<041327>Numbers 13:27).
