17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the
affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land
flowing with milk and honey. (Exodus 3:17)
20 For when I shall have brought them into the land
which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they
shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto
other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant. (Deut 31:20)
floweth with milk and honey - "... Talmud, which interprets the
words zavat halav u'dvash, (flowing with milk and honey) as "milk flows
from the goats' (udders), and honey flows from the dates and the figs (Ketubot
111b)." For a pastoral people, this indeed must have been an inviting
description of the land. The goats were a source of milk as well as meat, and
were very prolific. In biblical times, goats were a reflection of wealth."

Wealth can lead to apostasy from God. How do we use wealth? Do we thank
God? Haven't we pride? It is important to remember to all believers in Yeshua
(Jesus)!
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may
grow thereby: (1 Peter 2:2)
