Exodus 23:31 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Exodus 23:31

29 ^aI will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.

31 And ^aI will set your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the River. For I will ^bdeliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

32 ^aYou shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, ^ait will surely be a snare to you.”

Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Exodus

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
