What does Exodus 34:11 mean?
Observe thou that which I command thee this day
Which words are either said to Moses personally, as Aben Ezra
thinks, as a direction to him to observe what had been said to
him, and declare them to the children of Israel; or rather to the
children of Israel, and respect the commands which are afterwards
delivered out to be observed by them in the following verses; and
what is expressed in the next clause is such as was not done by
the ministry of Moses, nor in his time:
behold, I drive out before thee;
not before Moses, but the people of Israel,
the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and
the
Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite;
six nations are only mentioned, though there were seven, the
Girgashites being omitted, because either they left the land
before, as some think, or because they at once submitted; they
are added in the Septuagint version.
