When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

Study Note
God commands the dispossession of seven greater and mightier nations as Israel enters Canaan — legislation that has generated centuries of theological and ethical debate. The enumeration of seven nations signals comprehensiveness (the complete population of the land in the ancient Israelite symbolic imagination), not necessarily a precise ethnic list. The primary theological rationale given is not Israel's merit but God's faithfulness to ancestral promises (Deuteronomy 7:6-8), establishing that election is grace, not reward. Modern scholarship engages critically with this text's reception history, noting how it has been misused to justify colonialism, while also recovering its ancient covenantal and redemptive-historical context.
