4Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving. 5And when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites—the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you shall keep this service in this month.
6For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD. 7Unleavened bread shall be eaten during those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, nor shall leaven be found anywhere within your borders.
“The purity of the feast of Unleavened Bread followed upon the blood-deliverance of Passover. This illustrates the principle that we can only walk in purity before the LORD after the blood-deliverance at the cross.” (Guzik)
Blood deliverance of the Passover and then the feast of Unleavened Bread, a party!
“the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—“
Taste is one of the senses the Lord gave us to enjoy but some people can’t or are unwilling to control their food intake and allow it to control them to the point of obesity.
I find this verse interesting, “a land flowing with milk and honey—“
I recall waiting somewhere and there was a young lady talking to a group that was next to me. She said, the United States is the only country in the world that promotes drinking milk and the population was never weaned from infancy.
I thought to myself, what an ignorant statement!
In politeness I kept my mouth shut.
But why would the Lords book state a land flowing with milk and honey?
The phrase refers to the Promised Land and describes a plentiful food source.
The phrase is mentioned in the Bible approximately 100 times.
If the Lord didn’t want us to drink milk He would have told us so. So if you can tolerate milk enjoy it along with honey and remember the description of the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey—“.
Blessings, David
