The land allotted to Asher was in the northern part of Canaan, a region known for its fertile plains and access to the Mediterranean Sea. The Canaanites were the original inhabitants of the land, known for their polytheistic religion and practices that were contrary to the worship of Yahweh. The presence of the Asherites among the Canaanites indicates a failure to fully possess the land as commanded by God (<a href="/deuteronomy/7.htm">Deuteronomy 7:1-2</a>). This coexistence often led to the Israelites adopting Canaanite customs and idolatry, which was a recurring issue throughout the Book of Judges.<p><b>because they did not drive them out</b><br>The command to drive out the inhabitants of Canaan was given to the Israelites to prevent the influence of pagan practices and to establish a nation devoted to God (<a href="/exodus/23-31.htm">Exodus 23:31-33</a>). The failure of the Asherites to drive out the Canaanites reflects a lack of faith and obedience, which had significant spiritual and social consequences. This disobedience is a theme throughout Judges, illustrating the cycle of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. The inability to fully conquer the land foreshadows the struggles Israel would face, as the Canaanites became a source of temptation and conflict. This situation also highlights the importance of complete obedience to God's commands and the dangers of compromise with the surrounding culture.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/asherites.htm">Asherites</a></b><br>A tribe of Israel, descendants of Asher, one of Jacob's sons.
