God's Fulfilled Promise

Commentators emphasize that arriving in the 'land flowing with milk and honey' is the direct fulfillment of God's long-standing promise. As John Gill notes, this specific description echoes God's initial call in Exodus. The gift of the land is presented as the climax of a journey that began with their ancestors and was sustained by God's faithfulness through slavery and wilderness wandering.
