Numbers 34-36 What Didn't Happen

I loved some things my commentary pointed out:

“The Lord wanted the people to know that the 38-year delay didn’t alter His plans or annul His promises.”

“Israel’s invasion of Canaan was to be a total conquest … What was the reason for the extermination of these nations?  For one thing, this was God’s judgment because of their wickedness … God had been longsuffering with them for centuries, but now it was time for judgment to fall.  A second reason was that the way might be cleared for the tribes of Israel to claim their inheritance… A Third reason … was to remove temptation from the people of Israel who were prone to worship idols … Unfortunately, Israel didn’t obey God’s orders and ended up being snared by the practices of the heathen peoples left in the land.”

Father, help me to listen to Your voice and drive out of my life anything that You say might be an idol that will keep me from receiving my full spiritual inheritance from You.

Your Brother In Christ,
