Notes

Deuteronomy 7:9

  • The faithful God is completely reliable and trustworthy. God commended Abraham as righteous because he trusted in God and relied entirely on God's faithfulness (Genesis 15:6).

  • In contrast to humans, who often fail to keep promises, the Lord faithfully keeps his covenant.

Deuteronomy 7:1–26

Before Israel could occupy the promised land, they had to remove the people already living there (compare Genesis 13:14–17; 15:18–21). The land belonged to the Lord, and only God could decide who should live there.
