“And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.”
They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. They reported to them and to the whole community and showed them the fruit of the land — the return to Kadesh ('holy,' a place of sanctuary and judgment) sets the stage for the community's response to the report. The physical presentation of Canaan's fruit (grapes, pomegranates, figs) makes the promise tangible.
