2 Kings 21:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 21:8

Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of

servant Moses commanded them
by obedience to which they had the tenure of the land of Canaan, ( Isaiah 1:19 ) .

9 Soothly they heard not, but were deceived of Manasseh, that they did evil over heathen men, which the Lord all-brake from the face of the sons of Israel.
