Exodus 34:24 - Exposition

I will … enlarge thy borders . The original promise to Abraham was to give to his seed "the land of Canaan" ( Genesis 12:5-7 ). Afterwards this promise was enlarged, and he was told that the land assigned them was the entire tract between the Nile and the Euphrates ( Genesis 15:18 ). And practically, they took possession first of the one, while at a later date their border was enlarged, and they became masters of the other. See 1 Kings 4:21 , 1 Kings 4:24 ; 2 Chronicles 9:26 . Neither shall any man desire thy land , etc. This promise is nowhere else made. It would serve as a great encouragement to the proper observance of the festivals.
