Deuteronomio 7:1

1 Cuando el SEÑOR tu Dios te hubiere introducido en la tierra en la cual tú has de entrar para heredarla, y hubiere echado de delante de tu presencia a muchos gentiles, al heteo, al gergeseo, al amorreo, al cananeo, al ferezeo, al heveo, y al jebuseo, siete naciones mayores y más fuertes que tú

Deuteronomio 7:1 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:1

When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither
thou goest to possess it
The land of Canaan they were just now going into to take possession of; their introduction into which is here, as in many other places, ascribed not to themselves, or their leaders, but to the Lord as their covenant God:

and hath cast out many nations before thee;
even all that were in it, the seven following:

the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the
Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites;
the Canaanites were a particular nation in the land of Canaan, which had their name from Canaan himself; the rest were called from different sons of his; see ( Genesis 10:15-17 ) , the country of the Gergesenes, the same with the Girgashites, continued its name unto the times of Christ, ( Matthew 8:28 ) ,

seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
more in number, and more robust in body, some being of a gigantic stature; there were ten of these nations in Abraham's time, three of them were since sunk or swallowed up among the rest, the Kenites, and Kenizires, and the Rephaim; for instead of the Kadmonites the Hivites are here put, which seem to be the same.

Deuteronomio 7:1 In-Context

1 Cuando el SEÑOR tu Dios te hubiere introducido en la tierra en la cual tú has de entrar para heredarla, y hubiere echado de delante de tu presencia a muchos gentiles, al heteo, al gergeseo, al amorreo, al cananeo, al ferezeo, al heveo, y al jebuseo, siete naciones mayores y más fuertes que tú

2 y el SEÑOR tu Dios las hubiere entregado delante de ti, y las hirieres, del todo las destruirás; no harás con ellos alianza, ni las tomarás a merced

3 Y no emparentarás con ellos; no darás tu hija a su hijo, ni tomarás a su hija para tu hijo

4 Porque desviará a tu hijo de en pos de mí, y servirán a dioses ajenos; y el furor del SEÑOR se encenderá sobre vosotros, y te destruirá presto

5 Mas así habéis de hacer con ellos: sus altares destruiréis, y quebraréis sus imágenes, y cortaréis sus bosques, y quemaréis sus esculturas en el fuego
