Deuteronomy 7
1.All communion with the nations is forbidden
5.for fear of idolatry,
6.for the holiness of the people,
9.for the nature of God in his mercy and justice,
17.and for the assuredness of victory which God will give over them.














The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you
This phrase emphasizes the divine initiative and power in the conquest of Canaan. The Israelites are reminded that it is not by their own strength but by God's intervention that the nations will be driven out. This reflects the covenant relationship where God promises to fight for Israel (Exodus 23:27-30). The nations refer to the Canaanite tribes inhabiting the Promised Land, known for their idolatry and practices contrary to God's laws. This divine action is a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham (Genesis 15:18-21).

little by little
The gradual process of conquest is highlighted here. This method ensures that the land is not left desolate and that Israel can manage and settle it effectively. It reflects God's wisdom in providing for the Israelites' needs and preventing chaos. This gradual approach also serves as a test of Israel's faith and patience, teaching reliance on God's timing rather than human impatience.

You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once
This phrase underscores human limitations and the necessity of divine assistance. It serves as a reminder that the Israelites must depend on God rather than their own military might. The inability to eliminate the nations quickly also prevents overconfidence and self-reliance, encouraging humility and trust in God's plan.

or the wild animals would multiply around you
This practical concern highlights the balance between human habitation and the natural environment. In ancient times, uninhabited lands could quickly become overrun with wild animals, posing a threat to human settlers. This reflects God's foresight in ensuring the land remains safe and habitable for the Israelites. It also illustrates God's care for His people, providing not only for their spiritual needs but also for their physical safety and well-being.

Avoiding Spiritual Complacency

Endurance in Faith
The gradual conquest of the land teaches us the importance of perseverance and faithfulness in our spiritual journey.

What Does Deuteronomy 7:22 Mean
The LORD your God

The verse opens by fixing our eyes on the covenant name “the LORD” (YHWH) and coupling it with “your God,” reminding Israel—and us—whose agenda is unfolding. This is:

• The personal God who spoke to Moses from the bush (Exodus 3:15–16).

• The faithful God who swore the land to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Genesis 15:18;Deuteronomy 7:8).

Because Scripture is literally true, every promise He makes stands untouched by time (Numbers 23:19;Hebrews 10:23).

Will drive out these nations before you

God Himself is the prime mover in the conquest. Israel’s armies march, but the victory comes from the Lord (Deuteronomy 9:3;Joshua 24:12). He will:

• Dislodge the entrenched peoples (Deuteronomy 4:38).

• Go “before you,” guaranteeing both leadership and protection (Deuteronomy 31:8;Psalm 24:8).

Human courage matters, yet the outcome hinges on divine initiative (1 Samuel 17:47).

Little by little

The timetable is deliberate: “little by little.” Scripture echoes this rhythm inExodus 23:29-30, showing it was God’s plan from the start. Reasons include:

• Growth in faith and obedience—Israel must keep trusting daily (Matthew 6:34).

• Stewardship—time to cultivate fields, build cities, and establish worship (Deuteronomy 11:10-12).

• A picture of sanctification: God often reshapes us gradually, not instantaneously (Proverbs 4:18;Philippians 1:6).

You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once

God limits Israel’s capacity so His purpose, not their prowess, remains central (Deuteronomy 8:17). Key insights:

• Human strength alone cannot secure God’s inheritance (Psalm 33:16-18).

• Waiting seasons test humility and cultivate perseverance (James 1:4).

• The limitation is a mercy, not a punishment (Isaiah 55:8-9).

Or the wild animals would multiply around you

The Lord weaves ecological wisdom into His redemption plan. Empty land would invite predators (Leviticus 26:22;2 Kings 17:25;Ezekiel 14:15). By pacing the conquest, God:

• Protects His people from unforeseen dangers.

• Demonstrates mastery over creation’s balance (Psalm 104:24-25).

• Shows that spiritual victories carry practical consequences; neglect one, and the other suffers.

summary

Deuteronomy 7:22 reveals a God who personally leads, wisely paces, and tenderly protects. He promises victory, but on His schedule, so faith matures and life remains sustainable. The verse calls believers to trust God’s gradual work, recognizing that His timing guards us from dangers we cannot yet see while ensuring every promise is literally fulfilled.

(22)The Lord thy God will put out.--The word for "putting out" is illustrated by its use inDeuteronomy 19:5, of the axe-head flying off from the handle in the midst of a blow, and of the olive "casting" his fruit inDeuteronomy 28:40. (Comp. also2Kings 16:6, and1Samuel 25:29, for a similar thought.)

By little and little.--This confirms the view already expressed, that the expulsion of each particular nation was contingent upon the Divine decree, and that none were to be attacked by Israel except when the Lord should deliver them into Israel's hand.

Verse 22. - (Cf.Exodus 23:30.)
