John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:19

The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders ,.... The miracles wrought in Egypt; see Deuteronomy 4:34 . and the mighty hand, and stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out ; that is, out of Egypt, which was an instance and proof of his almighty power: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid ; not perform the same miraculous operations among them, but exert the same power in the destruction of them,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:20

Moreover, the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them ,.... Not a single one, but several of them, and which may be understood of creatures so called, which resemble wasps, only twice as large, an insect very bold and venomous; see Exodus 23:28 . Aben Ezra interprets it of the leprosy: until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed ; such of the Canaanites who escaped the sword of the Israelites, and hid themselves in holes and caverns of the earth; these... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:21

Thou shall not be affrighted at them ,.... At their numbers, nor at their gigantic stature: for the Lord thy God is among you : in the tabernacle, in the holy of holies, which was in the midst of them, and besides would give proof of his powerful presence among them, in protecting them, and destroying their enemies: a mighty God and terrible ; mighty to save his people, and terrible to others. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:22

And the Lord thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little ,.... Which is observed for their encouragement, who seeing that all were not destroyed at once, might fear the work would never be thoroughly accomplished; see Exodus 23:30 , thou mayest not consume them at once ; though it was in the power of their hands to do it, there being some wise reasons for sparing them awhile, at least for not cutting them off all at once, and one follows: lest the beasts of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:23

But the Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee ,.... Gradually, by little and little, until at length they should all come into their hands: and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction until they be destroyed; even all of them. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:24

And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand ,.... Who were very numerous, for though there were but seven nations, there were more kings, even one and thirty, Joshua 12:9 , thou shall destroy their name from under heaven ; not only destroy the name of the reigning kings, so as that they should not be remembered and made mention of any more, but put an end to the name and race of kings among them, so that they should never have any more, as they never had: there shall no man be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:25

The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire ,.... Which is repeated from Deuteronomy 7:5 , that it might be the more observed and strictly performed, and which unless done, they could not expect the utter destruction of their enemies, who were left in the land to try and prove them with respect to this very thing: thou shall not desire the silver or gold that is on them : the raiment of gold or silver with which they were bedecked, or the plates of gold and silver with... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:26

Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thy house ,.... An idol, so the Targum of Jonathan, the abominations of idols and their utensils, or what is ministered to them, with anything that appertains to them, or is used in the service of them, as well as the gold and silver upon them; this care was taken as much as possible to prevent idolatry, and all appearance of it, and to show what might lead on and be a temptation to it: lest thou be a cursed thing like it ; as an idol is, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 7:1

Seven nations greater and mightier than thou - In several places of the Hebrew text, each of these seven nations is not enumerated, some one or other being left out, which the Septuagint in general supply. How these nations were distributed over the land of Canaan previously to the entering in of the Israelites, the reader may see in the note on Joshua 3:10 ; (note). read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 7:2

Thou shalt smite them, etc. - These idolatrous nations were to be utterly destroyed, and all the others also which were contiguous to the boundaries of the promised land, provided they did not renounce their idolatry and receive the true faith: for if they did not, then no covenant was to be made with them on any secular or political consideration whatever; no mercy was to be shown to them, because the cup of their iniquity also was now full; and they must either embrace, heartily embrace,... read more
