Judges 18:7 in Context — Judges 18

5 E eles lhe disseram: Pergunta, pois, agora a Deus, para que saibamos se há de prosperar nossa viajem que fazemos.

6 E o sacerdote lhes respondeu: Ide em paz, que vosso viajem que fazeis é diante do SENHOR.

7 Então aqueles cinco homens se partiram, e vieram a Laís: e viram que o povo que habitava nela estava seguro, ocioso e confiante, conforme o costume dos de Sidom; não havia ninguém naquela região que os perturbasse em coisa alguma; além disso, os sidônios estavam distantes, e não tinham negócios com ninguém.

8 Voltando, pois, eles a seus irmãos em Zorá e Estaol, seus irmãos lhes disseram: Que há? e eles responderam:

9 Levantai-vos, subamos contra eles; porque nós exploramos a região, e vimos que é muito boa: e vós vos estais quietos? Não sejais preguiçosos em vos dispor em marcha para ir a possuir a terra.
