The Hebrew root here is "lo" (לא) for "never" and "yasaph" (יָסַף) for "again," indicating a cessation of previous actions. Historically, this promise is significant as it reassures the Israelites of stability and divine favor, contingent upon their obedience. It echoes God's covenantal faithfulness, a recurring theme throughout the Old Testament.the feet of the Israelites to wander The imagery of "feet" and "wander" evokes the Israelites' past experiences, particularly the 40 years in the wilderness. The Hebrew word "raglayim" (רַגְלַיִם) for "feet" symbolizes movement and journey, while "nua" (נוּעַ) for "wander" suggests instability and restlessness. This phrase underscores the contrast between their past disobedience and the potential for a settled, prosperous future in the Promised Land.from the land that I gave to their fathers This phrase highlights the continuity of God's promises from generation to generation. The "land" (אֶרֶץ, "eretz") is central to the Abrahamic covenant, representing not just physical territory but also spiritual inheritance. The reference to "fathers" (אָבוֹת, "avot") connects the present generation to the patriarchs, reinforcing the idea of a divinely ordained legacy.if only they will be careful The conditional nature of this promise is crucial. The Hebrew "shamar" (שָׁמַר) for "be careful" implies diligent observance and mindfulness. This reflects the covenantal relationship where blessings are contingent upon obedience. It serves as a reminder of the Israelites' responsibility to uphold their part of the covenant.to do all I have commanded them This phrase emphasizes comprehensive obedience. The Hebrew "asah" (עָשָׂה) for "do" suggests active implementation, while "kol" (כֹּל) for "all" indicates completeness. The commands are not selective but encompass the entirety of God's instructions, underscoring the importance of holistic faithfulness.the whole Law that My servant Moses commanded them The "whole Law" (תּוֹרָה, "Torah") refers to the comprehensive set of instructions given through Moses. The mention of "My servant Moses" highlights Moses' role as a mediator of God's will. This phrase roots the Israelites' obligations in the foundational events of Sinai, reminding them of the divine origin and authority of the Law.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_kings/21.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(8) Neither will I make the feet (foot) of Israel move (wander) . . .--Comp. the promise in <a href="/2_samuel/7-10.htm" title="Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,">2Samuel 7:10</a>.

The writer's argument is that Manasseh, by these impieties, annulled God's promises, brought about the destruction of the temple and of Jerusalem, and caused the entire people to be carried off into captivity. The promises of permanence to the city and temple, and of the continued possession of the laud by the people, were, he notes, conditional; and Manasseh, by breaking through the conditions, forfeited them (comp. <a href="/2_kings/24-3.htm">2 Kings 24:3</a>).
