“And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.”
At the end of forty days they returned from exploring the land — forty days (echoing Israel's forty years in the wilderness and Jesus' forty-day temptation) represents a complete season of reconnaissance, enough time to survey thoroughly and to test the spies' hearts. The duration itself carries spiritual weight.
