In the Bible, what does “a land flowing with milk and honey” mean?
God promised to rescue the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and bring them into Canaan, “a land flowing with milk and honey” (Ex. 3:8NIV). He also called it “a good and spacious land”. According to the NET Bible, this means that it was good (in terms of quality) and spacious (in terms of size). Also see the Appendices. (more…)

Joshua’s hills and valleys
Joshua assisted Moses during the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan (Ex. 24:13; 33:11; Num. 11:28). So during this time period he experienced the same hills and valleys as Moses. When Moses died outside the promised land after he viewed it from Mount Nebo (Dt. 34:1-7), Joshua replaced him as the leader of the Israelites (Dt. 31:1-8). Joshua lived in the 15th century BC. There is an account of his life from Exodus 17 to Joshua 24 of the Bible.
