Exodus 3:8

How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, and the Jebusite out from before you.

He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

He believed in Yahweh, who credited it to him for righteousness.

Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.

I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes.”

These are that Aaron and Moses to whom Yahweh said, “Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.”

and be ready for the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.

The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live, and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, “Yahweh will deliver us.”

Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth;

Observe that which I command you today. Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

See the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;

and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;

If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us: a land which flows with milk and honey.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence.

I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.

No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
