# General Information:

Joshua speaks to the twenty-one men who were to go look at the land.

# up and down in the land

The words "up and down" mean in every direction. See how you translated this in [Joshua 18:4](../18/04.md). Alternate translation: "in every direction in the land" or "throughout the land" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
