Numbers 14:8 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 14:8

If the Lord delight in us
Continue to delight in them as he had, and as appears by what he had done for, them in Egypt, at the Red sea, and in the wilderness; see ( Deuteronomy 10:15 ) ;

then he will bring us into this land, and give it us,
as he has promised,

a land which floweth with milk and honey;
as the Lord himself hath described it, and as the unbelieving spies themselves had owned it; ( Numbers 13:27 ) .

Numbers 14:8 In-Context

6 And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes

7 and said to all the congregation of the Israelites, "The land that we went through as spies is an exceedingly good land.

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.

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."

10 But the whole congregation threatened to stone them. Then the glory of the Lord appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites.
