The Lord had placed this land in the power of the Israelites, had given it up to them to possess and use it, according as he had sworn to their fathers, the patriarchs, to give it to them and their seed (comp.

The delay that had occurred had arisen solely from their own waywardness and perversity, not from anything on the part of God. Parallel Commentaries ...
