Deuteronomy 11:23 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:23

Then will the Lord drive out all those nations from before
you
By little and little, even all the seven nations which then inhabited the land of Canaan; and this he would do to make room for them, that they might inherit the land; see ( Deuteronomy 7:1 )

and ye shall possess greater nations, and mightier than yourselves;
countries whose inhabitants were more in number, and greater in strength, than they; and therefore the conquest of them was not to be ascribed to themselves, but to the Lord; this is often observed; see ( Deuteronomy 7:1 ) ( 9:1 ) .

Deuteronomy 11:23 In-Context

21 that the days of thee and of thy sons be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he should give to them, as long as heaven is above (the) earth. (so that the days of thee and of thy sons, can be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers to give them, for as long as the heavens be above the earth.)

22 For if ye keep the behests which I command to you, and do those (For if ye obey all these commandments which I command to you, and do them), that ye love your Lord God, and go in all his ways, and cleave to him,

23 the Lord shall destroy all these heathen men before your face, and ye shall wield those folks that be greater and stronger than ye.

24 Each place which your foot shall tread, shall be yours; from the desert, and from Lebanon, and from the great flood Euphrates unto the west sea, shall be your terms. (Every place where your feet shall tread, shall be yours; from the wilderness to the mountains of Lebanon, and from the great Euphrates River unto the Great Sea, or the Mediterranean Sea, shall be yours.)

25 None shall stand against you; your Lord God shall give your outward dread and your inward dread upon each land that ye shall tread, as he spake to you. (No one shall stand against you; the Lord your God shall put the fear of you and the dread of you upon every land where ye shall tread, as he promised you.)
