Halakhah sa Exodo 3:8: Mishneh Torah, Blessings

וָאֵרֵ֞ד לְהַצִּיל֣וֹ ׀ מִיַּ֣ד מִצְרַ֗יִם וּֽלְהַעֲלֹתוֹ֮ מִן־הָאָ֣רֶץ הַהִוא֒ אֶל־אֶ֤רֶץ טוֹבָה֙ וּרְחָבָ֔ה אֶל־אֶ֛רֶץ זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּדְבָ֑שׁ אֶל־מְק֤וֹם הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙ וְהַ֣חִתִּ֔י וְהָֽאֱמֹרִי֙ וְהַפְּרִזִּ֔י וְהַחִוִּ֖י וְהַיְבוּסִֽי׃

At bumaba Ako upang iligtas sila mula sa kamay ng Egipto, at upang iahon sila mula sa lupaing iyon tungo sa isang lupaing mabuti at malawak, sa isang lupaing dinadaluyan ng gatas at pulot, sa lugar ng mga Cananeo, ng mga Hiteo, ng mga Amorrheo, ng mga Perezeo, ng mga Heveo, at ng mga Jebuseo.

Mishneh Torah, Blessings

The blessing for the Promised Land must begin and end with thanksgiving and its concluding formula is "for the land and for the food". Whoever omits in this blessing the phrase, "a land, desirable, good and ample" has not fulfilled his duty. The Abrahamic covenant and the Torah must also be mentioned in it. The reference to the Covenant must come first, since the covenant referred to in the benediction for the land is the rite of circumcision in connection with which there were thirteen covenants, while in connection with the Torah there were only three, as it is said, "These are the words of the Covenant" (Deuteronomy 28:69); "beside the Covenant which He made with them in Horeb" (ibid. 28:69); "Ye stand this day … that thou shouldst enter into the Covenant (ibid. 29:9-11).
