Deuteronomy 4:38 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:38

To drive out nations from before thee, greater and mightier
than thou art
The seven nations of the land of Canaan, which were more in number and mightier in power and strength than they, and particularly the Amorites, who were already driven out and dispossessed of their country, even the kingdoms and nations of Sihon and Og:

to bring thee in to give thee their land for an inheritance, as [it is]
this day;
referring, as Aben Ezra observes, to the inheritance of the land of the two kings of the Amorites, which the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, were put into the possession of already.

Deuteronomy 4:38 In-Context

36 From heaven he made you hear his voice in order to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire. You heard his words from that very fire.

37 And because he loved your ancestors and chose their descendants after them, God brought you out of Egypt with his own presence, by his own great power,

38 in order to remove larger and stronger nations from before you and bring you into their land, giving it to you as an inheritance. That's where things stand right now.

39 Know then today and keep in mind that the LORD is the only God in heaven above or on earth below. There is no other.

40 Keep the Lord's regulations and his commandments. I'm commanding them to you today for your well-being and for the well-being of your children after you, so that you may extend your time on the fertile land that the LORD your God is giving you forever.
