The driving out of these nations is both a divine judgment against their iniquity and a fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). This act underscores God's sovereignty and His role as a divine warrior on behalf of His people.

This enlargement signifies not only physical growth but also the establishment of a nation under God's rule. It points to the future hope of a restored and expanded kingdom under the Messiah, where God's people will dwell securely.and no one will covet your land This assurance of protection addresses the fear of invasion or loss during the pilgrimage festivals. In a time when land was a primary source of wealth and security, God's promise to safeguard Israel's territory highlights His provision and faithfulness. It also reflects the peace and security found in God's presence, a theme echoed in the New Testament where believers are assured of spiritual protection (<a href="/philippians/4-7.htm">Philippians 4:7</a>).when you go up three times a year The requirement to appear before the Lord three times a year refers to the pilgrimage festivals: Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles (<a href="/exodus/23-14.htm">Exodus 23:14-17</a>). These festivals were central to Israel's worship and community life, reinforcing their identity as God's chosen people.

At first it was the "land of Canaan" alone which they were to receive (<a href="/context/genesis/12-5.htm" title="And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.">Genesis 12:5-7</a>); but subsequently the promise was extended, and made to include the entire tract of territory between "the river of Egypt" (the Nile) and "the great river, the river Euphrates" (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm" title="In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:">Genesis 15:18</a>). In remarkable parallelism with this double promise was the double fulfilment. At first Canaan alone was occupied, but under David and Solomon the borders were greatly enlarged; and "Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river (Euphrates) unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt" (<a href="/1_kings/4-21.htm" title="And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.">1Kings 4:21</a>). The rebellion of Jeroboam, and the establishment of the "kingdom of Israel," caused a contraction of the land to its original limits; but Menahem seems once more to have carried the dominion of Israel to the Euphrates (<a href="/2_kings/15-16.htm" title="Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.">2Kings 15:16</a>).Neither shall any man desire thy land.--It was a part of the unwritten law of the Greeks that free passage should be given to all who were on their way to or from any of the great Pan-Hellenic festivals. But the present promise went beyond any such understanding. It secured the territory of Israel from all attack at such seasons, and must have been enforced miraculously by that providential government which God exercises over "all the nations upon the earth" (<a href="/psalms/67-4.htm" title="O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for you shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations on earth. Selah.">Psalm 67:4</a>). . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/34.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 24. - I will... enlarge thy borders. The original promise to Abraham was to give to his seed "the land of Canaan" (<a href="/genesis/12-5.htm">Genesis 12:5-7</a>). Afterwards this promise was enlarged, and he was told that the land assigned them was the entire tract between the Nile and the Euphrates (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18</a>). And practically, they took possession first of the one, while at a later date their border was enlarged, and they became masters of the other. See <a href="/1_kings/4-21.htm">1 Kings 4:21, 24</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/9-26.htm">2 Chronicles 9:26</a>. Neither shall any man desire thy land, etc. This promise is nowhere else made.
