God promised to drive out all of the inhabitants of the Promised Land for the Israelites. It would be HIs working. The Israelites would have to trust Him, believe Him, and not try to do it themselves apart from Him. We must do the same. I am thankful we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us to be the one who defeats our enemies who oppose God and us, His precious possession.
YHWH said that the land was flowing with milk and honey. There are 20+ Scriptures that use this phrase for the Promised Land. I have always wondered what this phrase actually means. I did a quick inquiry on line and found some good points to mention.
1. The Land was filled with grasslands and vegetation to sustain their livestock, so the females would be calving and giving milk.
2. The Land was able to sustain many colonies of bees, which require vegetation for nectar and in turn, the bees pollinate the vegetation. so there was good symbiosis in the land among the plants and animals abiding there.
3. The Land had nutrient rich soil (re: the cluster of grapes that was so large that two men were needed to carry it). the soil would yield bumper crops of food.
4, Being a coastal region, the Marine climate from the Mediterranean would bring ample rain to provide water to drink and to grow food.
5. In this time, the Land of Promise was most likely less desolate that today. It was well forested, which would require more rain then there is today.
6. The reference to milk indicates that the land was suitable for farming and raising livestock to sustain the people's food needs.
7. The reference to honey indicates that the land would provide beyond mere sustenance, but much delight and ease of living.
These thoughts may help us understand the phrase better. I don't believe that the Scriptures ever defines this phrase.
YHWH says that He will not go among the people on their journey, lest he consume them for being a stiff-necked people. The Angel would go with them.

What the land would produce when worked. There are more figures of speech
Used in the bible than any other book. Other examples the hand of God, the
Ground is thirsty, He maketh our steps like a hinds feet or mountain goats
Sure footed steps in our walk with God. God used these with absolute perfection
And precision and they hold tremendous truths when worked.
That is what I thought.
