I said to you
This phrase indicates a direct communication from Moses to the Israelites. In the Hebrew text, the verb "אמר" (amar) is used, which is a common term for speaking or saying. This highlights the role of Moses as a prophet and leader, conveying God's instructions to His people. Historically, this moment is significant as it marks a pivotal point in Israel's journey, where Moses is recounting past events to prepare them for entering the Promised Land.

You have reached
The phrase suggests arrival and fulfillment of a journey. The Hebrew root "בוא" (bo) means to come or to enter, indicating that the Israelites have arrived at a critical juncture. This is not just a physical arrival but also a spiritual and covenantal moment, as they stand on the brink of receiving God's promises.

the hill country of the Amorites
This refers to the mountainous region inhabited by the Amorites, a significant Canaanite tribe. The Amorites were known for their fortified cities and military prowess. Archaeological findings have confirmed the existence of such hill country settlements, providing a backdrop to the challenges Israel faced. This phrase sets the stage for the Israelites' need to trust in God's power over formidable adversaries.

which the LORD our God
This phrase emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) signifies the personal and covenantal name of God, reminding the Israelites of His faithfulness and sovereignty. The phrase "our God" reinforces the communal identity of Israel as God's chosen people, bound by His promises and laws.

is giving us
The verb "נתן" (natan) in Hebrew means to give, indicating a gift or grant. This underscores the grace and generosity of God, who is providing the land not because of Israel's merit but because of His covenant with their forefathers. It is a reminder of divine providence and the fulfillment of God's promises, encouraging the Israelites to trust in His provision.
