“In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:”
On the day God made Himself known to Israel in Egypt, He swore an oath lifting up His hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land flowing with milk and honey, the most glorious of all lands. The lifted hand symbolizes the formality and binding nature of God's oath, establishing an unconditional divine commitment to Israel's liberation and establishment in the promised land. The land's description as most glorious emphasizes the magnitude of God's gift.
