Question
Hello,
I am trying to understand what is being said in Deut 3:18, but
I'm struggling a bit! Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Thanks!

Answer
Hi Chris,

I interpret this passage to indicate what God is stating He will give to the Israelites once they enter into the "promised land". The reason it's called the "promised land" is because God promised this land to the Israelites, providing they obeyed Him and lived the way God commanded them to live. If they did not, God would punish the Israelites (usually by having invaders remove them from their land for a while. But God always brought back a remnant of the people back to the promised land.

Hello to you! I love discussing many doctrinal subjects regarding God`s rationale for creating us like he did and our value to him. Also, I enjoy discussing things from the Atheist`s perspective too. I take the view that the Bible is not inerrant, that it has errors which are easy to prove, but I also believe that much in the Bible is God`s Word to humanity.

Experience

I have spent over 30 years studying the Bible and related materials. Though I am a layman, I feel confident about my knowledge of the scriptures and welcome all points of view and will treat you with the respect you deserve.
