This action underscores the seriousness of maintaining purity and obedience to God's commands.Then they settled in their place The settlement of the Israelites in the conquered territories fulfills the promise of land given to Abraham and his descendants. It represents the establishment of God's people in the Promised Land, a recurring theme in the biblical narrative.because there was pasture for their flocks The availability of pasture indicates the suitability of the land for sustaining the Israelites' agrarian lifestyle.
