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 Yehoshua the son of Nun and Kalev the son of Yefunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:

7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yisra'el, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.

8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.

9 Only don't rebel against the LORD, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us: don't fear them.

10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. The glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting to all the children of Yisra'el.
