And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
And they said to Joshua, 'The LORD has definitely given us victory over the entire land. All the people living in the country are terrified of us.'
The two spies are reporting back to Joshua that God has already given them victory, and their enemies are filled with fear before the battle even begins.
