Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 13:18. 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.
