¹⁷ And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt^(A) into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’^(B)

⁵ When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites,^(A) Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites^(B)—the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey^(C)—you are to observe this ceremony^(D) in this month:

³ Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey.^(A) But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked^(B) people and I might destroy^(C) you on the way.”

²⁴ But I said to you, “You will possess their land; I will give it to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey.”^(A) I am the Lord your God, who has set you apart from the nations.^(B)

²⁷ They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey!^(A) Here is its fruit.^(B)

²⁵ Taking with them some of the fruit of the land, they brought it down to us and reported,^(A) “It is a good land^(B) that the Lord our God is giving us.”^(C)

³ Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey^(A) so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly^(B) in a land flowing with milk and honey,^(C) just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised^(D) you.

⁷ For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land^(A)—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;^{(B) 8} a land with wheat and barley,^(C) vines^(D) and fig trees,^(E) pomegranates, olive oil and honey;^{(F) 9} a land where bread^(G) will not be scarce and you will lack nothing;^(H) a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.^(I)

⁹ and so that you may live long^(A) in the land the Lord swore^(B) to your ancestors to give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.^(C)
