“And they said unto Joshua, Truly the Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.”
And they said to Joshua, 'Truly the LORD has given all the land into our hands; moreover, all the inhabitants of the land have melted in fear of us' — the spies' final report echoes Rahab's confession of faith: the LORD has given the land, and the inhabitants are in fear. The word 'truly' introduces this statement as a witness statement based on their reconnaissance and Rahab's testimony. The report combines military intelligence with theological conviction.
