The "good land" signifies not only physical abundance but also spiritual blessings. It reflects God's faithfulness and the importance of obedience to His commandments. The land is described as "good," indicating its fertility and suitability for sustaining the nation, contrasting with the wilderness they had wandered through.<p><b>a land of brooks and fountains and springs</b><br>The mention of "brooks and fountains and springs" highlights the abundance of water resources, a critical factor for agriculture and survival in the ancient Near East. This abundance contrasts with the scarcity experienced in Egypt and the wilderness. Water is often symbolic of life and blessing in Scripture (<a href="/psalms/1-3.htm">Psalm 1:3</a>, <a href="/john/4-14.htm">John 4:14</a>), and here it underscores the richness of God's provision. The presence of natural water sources would have been a sign of divine favor and a promise of prosperity.<p><b>that flow through the valleys and hills</b><br>The geographical description of "valleys and hills" indicates a varied and fertile landscape, suitable for diverse agricultural activities. This topography would allow for the cultivation of different crops and the grazing of livestock, supporting a thriving community. The imagery of flowing water through these areas suggests continuous provision and sustenance. The land's varied terrain also symbolizes the challenges and opportunities the Israelites would face, requiring reliance on God's guidance and strength.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who is faithful to His promises and is leading His people into the Promised Land.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are being led by Moses through the wilderness towards the land promised to their forefathers.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_promised_land.htm">The Promised Land (Canaan)</a></b><br>A fertile and prosperous land described as "a good land," which God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and is now being given to their descendants.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader and prophet of Israel, who is delivering God's message and commandments to the people as they prepare to enter the Promised Land.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness_journey.htm">Wilderness Journey</a></b><br>The period of 40 years during which the Israelites wandered in the desert, learning to trust and obey God before entering Canaan.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness.htm">God's Faithfulness</a></b><br>Reflect on God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises.

Palestine is in the present day, on the whole, well supplied with water, though the distribution is very unequal, many parts being almost wholly destitute of supply, except from what may be collected from rain in tanks or cisterns; and there is no reason to suppose it was different in the ancient times. As compared, however, with the desert to which the Israelites had been so long accustomed, and even with Egypt from which they had escaped, the country on which they were about to enter was well watered. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/8-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">For</span><br /><span class="heb">כִּ֚י</span> <span class="translit">(kî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> </span><span class="str2">A relative conjunction</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָ֣ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
