Why did Moshe describe the west side of the Yarden as "ha'Aretz ha'Tovah"?
R. Bachye (citing Midrash Tanchuma): He was hinting that, whereas the Dor ha?Midbar could not enter Eretz Yisrael because they had brought back a bad report about it, he ? who had not even seen the land, had spoken only good about it - as the Torah quotes him in 8:7 ?ki Hashem Elokecha Mevi?acha el Eretz Tovah ? ? 1
Oznayim la'Torah: Even the Rabbanan in the first Perek of Bikurim, who maintain that one brings Bikurim from the fruit of Eiver ha'Yarden, concede that it did not 'flow with milk anf haney' - like Eretz Yisrael proper. 2
R. Bachye: And the Midrash compares it to emmiseries of the king who reported to the king that the woman he intended to marry was the ugliest woman in the world, but the king?s friend countered that she was in fact, beautiful. When the time of the wedding arrived, the woman?s father did not perit the king?s emissaries to attend beause they had demeaned his daughter before the king. And when he subsequently refused the king?s friend entry, the latter reminded him that, as opposed to the king?s emissaries, he had praised his daughter ? despite the fact that he had not even seen her.
