Exegesis
Vehinnēh {וְהִנֵּ֥ה | wə-hinnēh} functions as an emphatic ‘behold,’ and ṭôvāh mə’ôd {טוֹבָ֖ה מְאֹ֑ד | ṭôvāh mə’ôd} intensifies the land’s excellence.
In context — Judges 18:9
They said, “Get up and let us move against them, for we have inspected the land and found it to be exceptionally good. Why are you standing idle? Do not be lazy to go in, enter, and take possession of the land .”
