Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 20:6

"in that day I sware unto them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands." — Ezekiel 20:6 (ASV)

The glory of all lands. —So Palestine is constantly spoken of, both in the promise and in its fulfillment. 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.
