When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth.
When you go there, you will find a people living peacefully without fear, and a spacious land. God has given it into your hands, a place that has everything you could need on earth.
The writer is describing a promised land that God has given them, which is abundant and populated by unsuspecting people who can be easily conquered.
📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Judges, which recounts the period of Israel's judges after the conquest of Canaan, the tribe of Dan was still seeking a permanent territory because they had not fully claimed their allotted land. Spies from Dan explored the area and reported on the city of Laish, describing it as a peaceful and resource-rich place that God had promised to give them. This narrative reflects the broader theme of Israel's incomplete obedience in possessing the Promised Land as instructed by God.
