⁷ and said to all the congregation of the Israelites, “The land that we went through as spies is an exceedingly good land.^{(A) 8} If the Lord is pleased with us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey.^{(B) 9} Only, do not rebel against the Lord, and do not fear the people of the land, for they are no more than bread for us; their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.”^(C)
