TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:4-7 This unexpected detour in the narrative provides an important reminder of Israel’s earlier refusal to believe that God would bring them safely into the land of Canaan (Num 14). This summary of God’s judgment upon their fathers reminded the present generation that trusting in God was still necessary if they were to occupy the land their ancestors had forfeited. Further, it signaled the completion of God’s judgment upon the earlier generation.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

שָׁמְע֖וּ בְּ⁠ק֣וֹל יְהוָ֑ה

listen in/on/at/with,voice YHWH

Here “voice” refers to the things that Yahweh spoke. Alternate translation: “obey the things that Yahweh commanded them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶ֛רֶץ זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּ⁠דְבָֽשׁ

earth/land flowing milk and,honey

God spoke of the land being good for animals and plants as if the milk and honey from those animals and plants were flowing through the land. Alternate translation: “a land that is excellent for raising livestock and growing crops” (See also: figs-metonymy)
