This act is rooted in the Abrahamic Covenant, where God promised Abraham that his descendants would inherit a specific land (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). The "nations" here refers to the various Canaanite tribes that inhabited the land before the Israelites' conquest. This transfer of land is a demonstration of God's sovereignty and faithfulness to His promises. It also serves as a type of the ultimate inheritance believers receive through Christ, as seen in the New Testament (<a href="/hebrews/4-8.htm">Hebrews 4:8-10</a>).<p><b>that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor</b><br>This phrase highlights the Israelites receiving the benefits of the land without having to toil for them initially. The "fruit of others' labor" includes the cities, vineyards, and fields established by the previous inhabitants (<a href="/deuteronomy/6-10.htm">Deuteronomy 6:10-11</a>). This concept is a recurring theme in Scripture, illustrating God's provision and grace. It also serves as a reminder of the spiritual inheritance believers receive through Christ, which is not earned by works but given by grace (<a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>). Theologically, it underscores the idea of divine justice and the redistribution of resources according to God's will.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, God is the one who gives the lands to His people.
