Exegesis

The Hiphil vayashivu {וַיָּשִׁיבוּ | va-yāšîḇû} ‘they brought back word’ shifts to the act of reporting, with two object markers (wə-ʼet {וְאֶת־ | wə-ʼet} and ʼet {אֶת | ʼet}) emphasizing both message (dāḇār {דָּבָר | dāḇār}) and recipients.

In contextNumbers 13:26

And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron and to all the assembly of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran at Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
