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 the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephun'neh, who were among those who had spied out the land, rent their clothes,

7 and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, "The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.

8 If the LORD delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which 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 bread for us; their protection is removed from them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them."

10 But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel.
