When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God
giveth
thee
The land of Canaan, often thus described, to express the goodness
of God in bestowing it on them, as a mere favour of his, without
any desert of theirs; and so typical of the heavenly Canaan, or
eternal life, which is the free gift of God through Christ:
thou shall not learn to do after the abominations of these
nations;
the seven nations which before inhabited it; they might learn, as
Jarchi observes, to know how corrupt their works were, and to
show to their children, that they might not do so; but they were
not to learn them so as to practise them, but to have them in the
utmost abhorrence, as being abominable to God, and which should
be so to them; some of which are as follow.
