In biblical times, valleys were often fertile and provided necessary resources for livestock, representing God's provision for His people. This imagery connects to <a href="/psalms/23-2.htm">Psalm 23:2</a>, where God leads His people beside still waters, emphasizing His role as a shepherd. The valley can also symbolize a place of humility and dependence on God, contrasting with the pride of self-reliance.<p><b>the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest</b><br>The Spirit of the LORD is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, representing God's active presence and guidance. Here, the Spirit provides rest, which is a fulfillment of God's promise to His people, as seen in <a href="/exodus/33-14.htm">Exodus 33:14</a>, where God assures Moses of His presence and rest. This rest is not merely physical but spiritual, pointing to the ultimate rest found in Christ (<a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28-30</a>). The rest given by the Spirit is a foretaste of the eternal rest promised in <a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>.<p><b>You led Your people this way</b><br>This phrase highlights God's direct involvement in guiding His people, reminiscent of the Exodus journey where God led the Israelites by a pillar of cloud and fire (<a href="/exodus/13-21.htm">Exodus 13:21-22</a>). It underscores God's sovereignty and faithfulness in fulfilling His covenant promises. The leadership of God is a central theme throughout Scripture, pointing to Jesus as the Good Shepherd who leads His flock (<a href="/john/10-11.htm">John 10:11</a>).<p><b>to make for Yourself a glorious name</b><br>God's actions in history are often aimed at revealing His glory and establishing His name among the nations. This phrase reflects the purpose behind God's deliverance and guidance of Israel, as seen in passages like <a href="/exodus/9-16.htm">Exodus 9:16</a> and <a href="/ezekiel/20-9.htm">Ezekiel 20:9</a>. God's desire to make His name glorious is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection reveal the fullness of God's glory (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>).

So God gave his people, after their many trials, "rest" in Canaan (<a href="/hebrews/3-11.htm">Hebrews 3:11-18</a><span class="cmt_word">). So didst thou lead thy people</span>.
