7. For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land--All accounts,
ancient and modern, concur in bearing testimony to the natural beauty
and fertility of Palestine, and its great capabilities if properly
cultivated.
a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of
valleys and hills--These characteristic features are mentioned first,
as they would be most striking; and all travellers describe how
delightful and cheerful it is, after passing through the barren and
thirsty desert, to be among running brooks and swelling hills and
verdant valleys. It is observable that water is mentioned as the chief
source of its ancient fertility.
