Furthermore, the land is so full of these representative food items that the expression speaks of the land flowing with them. As a result, this expression describes a land with productive, fertile soil that produces good and abundant food. If this expression would be unclear in your land, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: a land with good, productive, and fertile soil or a land that produces abundant food
