Numbers 13:25 - At the end of forty days they returned from exploring the land.
40 days seems to be the most famous time period mentioned in the Bible. (True, there are other contenders.) It rained 40 days and 40 nights. Moses was on Sinai 40 days and 40 nights. Jesus was tempted by Satan for 40 days. Why 40 days?
What did these spies do for food for 40 days? Did they beg? Steal? Get jobs? Had they brought enough cash with them?
Could they speak the language of the natives? Did they stand out in a crowd? Did they enter the city (Hebron) together as a troupe? Did they stay together the whole time? Was Hebron big enough to get lost in? How long did they stay in Hebron (or any other city in the area)? How much of the land did they actually get to see? Did they split into smaller groups and go different directions to cover more territory?
Who let them carry out that huge bunch of grapes and the other fruits? Did they purchase them?
I'm curious. Could you please tell me what brought you to this page by mentioning it in a comment? I won't publish the comment, if you ask me not to.
