Contextual Overview

5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the Congregation of the children of Israel. 6 And Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes. 7 And they spake vnto all the company of the children of Israel, saying. The land which wee passed thorow to search it, is an exceeding good land. 8 If the Lord delight in vs, then he will bring vs into this land, and giue it vs, a land which floweth with milke and hony. 9 Onely rebell not yee against the Lord, neither feare yee the people of the land, for they are bread for vs: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with vs: feare them not. 10 But all the Congregation bade stone them with stones: and the glory of the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before all the children of Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
