In the context of Exodus, God is renewing His covenant with Israel after the incident of the golden calf. The call to observe His commands is a reminder of the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where obedience is a sign of faithfulness. This theme of obedience is echoed throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-3.htm">Deuteronomy 6:3-4</a> and <a href="/john/14-15.htm">John 14:15</a>, where love for God is demonstrated through keeping His commandments.<p><b>I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.</b><br>This promise of driving out the inhabitants of the land is a continuation of God's covenant promise to Abraham in <a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>. The mention of these specific groups highlights the historical and geographical context of the land of Canaan, which was inhabited by various tribes. Archaeological findings have confirmed the existence of these groups, providing evidence of their cultures and cities. Theologically, this act of driving out the nations is seen as God's judgment against their idolatry and wickedness, as well as His provision for Israel. It also foreshadows the ultimate victory over sin and evil through Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of God's promises and the one who conquers spiritual enemies.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who received the commandments from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>God's chosen people, whom He delivered from slavery in Egypt and is leading to the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_amorites,_canaanites,_hittites,_perizzites,_hivites,_and_jebusites.htm">The Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites</a></b><br>Various groups inhabiting the land of Canaan, which God promises to give to the Israelites.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The mountain where Moses received the commandments from God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_promised_land.htm">The Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, promised by God to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a></b><br>God’s instructions are clear and require full obedience.
