¹⁷ And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt^(A) into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’^(B)

⁵ When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites,^(A) Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites^(B)—the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey^(C)—you are to observe this ceremony^(D) in this month:

²⁷ They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey!^(A) Here is its fruit.^(B)

²⁵ Taking with them some of the fruit of the land, they brought it down to us and reported,^(A) “It is a good land^(B) that the Lord our God is giving us.”^(C)

⁷ For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land^(A)—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;^{(B) 8} a land with wheat and barley,^(C) vines^(D) and fig trees,^(E) pomegranates, olive oil and honey;^{(F) 9} a land where bread^(G) will not be scarce and you will lack nothing;^(H) a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.^(I)

⁵ Then I will fulfill the oath I swore^(A) to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey’^(B)—the land you possess today.”

I answered, “Amen,^(C) Lord.”

⁶ On that day I swore^(A) to them that I would bring them out of Egypt into a land I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey,^(B) the most beautiful of all lands.^(C)
