9. Milk and honey. Compare Ex. 3:8; Deut. 6:3. Milk represents not only the choicest material blessings of earthly Canaan but also the rich blessing of salvation through Christ (Isa. 55:1). The sweetness of honey is compared to the sweetness of God’s law (Ps. 19:10) and all of His revealed will (Eze. 3:3; Rev. 10:9, 10).
