This reflects a careful and strategic approach to warfare, emphasizing the importance of gathering intelligence. Jazer was a city east of the Jordan River, in the territory later allotted to the tribe of Gad. The sending of spies indicates the significance of Jazer as a strategic location for Israel's conquest and settlement.<p><b>Israel captured its villages</b><br>The capture of Jazer and its villages demonstrates Israel's growing military strength and God's fulfillment of His promise to give them the land. This victory is part of a series of conquests that establish Israel's presence east of the Jordan. The term "villages" suggests that the area was not just a single city but a region with multiple settlements, indicating a significant territorial gain.<p><b>and drove out the Amorites who were there</b><br>The Amorites were a prominent Canaanite people known for their fortified cities and military prowess. Driving them out signifies a decisive victory and the removal of a significant obstacle to Israel's settlement in the Promised Land. This act of driving out the Amorites fulfills God's command to dispossess the inhabitants of the land (<a href="/deuteronomy/7.htm">Deuteronomy 7:1-2</a>) and prefigures the ultimate conquest of Canaan. The Amorites' expulsion also symbolizes the triumph of God's people over pagan nations, foreshadowing the spiritual victories believers are called to achieve through faith.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt and through the wilderness.
