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 ) ;

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 ) .
