And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

View the land, of what sort it is: and the people that are the inhabitants thereof, whether they be strong or weak: few in number or many:

and have seen the land what it is, and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it is strong or feeble; whether it is few or many;

And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;

consider the land, as to what kind it may be, and the people, who are its inhabitants, whether they may be strong or weak, whether they may be few in number or many,

Et consideretis terram ipsam qualis sit, et populum qui habitat in ea, utrum fortis sit an debilis, utrum paucus sit an multus.

And see the land what it is. The counsel of Moses had this object, that the people might be made aware how rich and fertile the land was; for a barren country does not support a large population; and the healthfulness of a locality is inferred from the rigor of its inhabitants, tie, therefore, chiefly insists on the goodness of the land and its abundant production of fruits. Still, perhaps, God would intentionally have the Israelites forewarned, that they would have to do with strong and powerful enemies; lest they might be alarmed and discouraged at suddenly beholding them. But the main point was, that the pleasantness and fertility of the land might allure them to take possession of it.

See the land, what it is - What sort of a Country it is; how situated; its natural advantages or disadvantages.
And the people - whether they be strong or weak - Healthy, robust, hardy men; or little, weak, and pusillanimous.

And see the land what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein,.... The situation and condition of the country, and the nature, temper, disposition, and constitution of the inhabitants, by which it might be judged whether it was a desirable thing to possess it, and whether it was practicable to subdue and take it:
whether they be strong or weak, few or many; whether able-bodied men fit for war, and of spirit, strength, and courage, or feeble and pusillanimous, weak and timorous; and whether their number was small or great, by which they would be capable of judging whether they were in a state and condition to defend themselves or not, and whether a conquest of them was easy or not; the last of the two things in the preceding clause is first particularly explained and enlarged upon, as is usual in the Hebrew language.

What it is - Both for largeness, and for nature and quality.
