God's Proven Faithfulness

Commentators emphasize that the phrase "as at this day" is a powerful declaration of God's faithfulness. He had fulfilled His ancient oath to the patriarchs by giving Israel a land "flowing with milk and honey." This blessing was a tangible, visible sign of His grace and the fulfillment of His word, not something the people had earned on their own merit.
