Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) The glory of all lands.--So Palestine is constantly spoken of, both in the promise and in its fulfilment. (Comp. Daniel 11:16.) However strange this may seem to us now in regard to parts of the land, after centuries of desolation, misrule, and oppression, it is plain from Joshua 23:14, and many other passages, that at the time the Israelites entered upon its possession it fulfilled their utmost expectation.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewOn thatהַה֗וּא (ha·hū)Article | Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, aredayבַּיּ֣וֹם (bay·yō·wm)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3117: A dayI sworeנָשָׂ֤אתִי (nā·śā·ṯî)Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singularStrong's 5375: To lift, carry, taketo themלָהֶ֔ם (lā·hem)Preposition | third person masculine pluralStrong's Hebrew to bring them outלְהֽוֹצִיאָ֖ם (lə·hō·w·ṣî·’ām)Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 3318: To go, bring, out, direct and proximof Egyptמִצְרָ֑יִם (miṣ·rā·yim)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4714: Egypt -- a son of Ham, also his descendants and their country in Northwest Africaintoאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toa landאֶ֜רֶץ (’e·reṣ)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 776: Earth, landthatאֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatI had searched outתַּ֣רְתִּי (tar·tî)Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singularStrong's 8446: To meander, about, for, trade, reconnoitringfor them,לָהֶ֗ם (lā·hem)Preposition | third person masculine pluralStrong's Hebrew a land flowingזָבַ֤ת (zā·ḇaṯ)Verb - Qal - Participle - feminine singular constructStrong's 2100: To flow freely, to have a, flux, to waste away, to overflowwith milkחָלָב֙ (ḥā·lāḇ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 2461: Milkand honey,וּדְבַ֔שׁ (ū·ḏə·ḇaš)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1706: Honey, syrupthe gloryצְבִ֥י (ṣə·ḇî)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6643: Splendor, a gazelleof allלְכָל־ (lə·ḵāl)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everylands.הָאֲרָצֽוֹת׃ (hā·’ă·rā·ṣō·wṯ)Article | Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 776: Earth, landJump to PreviousBeautiful Beauty Egypt Espied Flowing Forth Glorious Glory Hand Honey Lands Milk Oath Searched Selected Sought Sware Swore
