Sotah 35

1) WERE THE SPIES RIGHTEOUS OR WICKED
QUESTION: The Gemara expounds the verse, "And they went, and they returned" (Bamidbar 13:26), and says that "just as the Meraglim returned with evil plans, when they departed they already had evil intentions." This is also evident from the Gemara earlier (34b) which says that the names of the Meraglim (which the Torah lists) hint to the evil intentions they had before they departed.
