They not only failed to expel the heathen, as God
commanded-- (Exo 23:32-33), literally, "said (they should)," but conformed to their idolatries [Psa 106:36], and thus became spiritual adulterers (Psa 73:27). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
They did not destroy the nations - The Canaanites, Hivites, Jebusites, etc.; the nations that inhabited the land of Canaan.
Concerning whom the Lord commanded them - The command on this subject was positive; and it was to destroy them, to spare none of them. Num 33:52; Deu 7:5, Deu 7:16. |

| The sins in Canaan: the failing to exterminate the idolatrous peoples and sharing in their idolatry. In Psa 106:34 the poet appeals to the command, frequently enjoined upon them from Exo 23:32. onwards, to extirpate the inhabitants of Canaan. Since they did not execute this command (vid., Jdg 1:1), that which it was intended to prevent came to pass: the heathen became to them a snare (mowqeesh), Exo 23:33; Exo 34:12; Deu 7:16. They intermarried with them, and fell into the Canaanitish custom in which the abominations of heathenism culminate, viz., the human sacrifice, which Jahve abhorreth (Deu 12:31), and only the demons (שׁדים, Deu 32:17) delight in. Thus then the land was defiled by blood-guiltiness (חנף, Num 35:33, cf. Isa 24:5; Isa 26:21), and they themselves became unclean (Eze 20:43) by the whoredom of idolatry. In Psa 106:40-43 the poet (as in Neh 9:26.) sketches the alternation of apostasy, captivity, redemption, and relapse which followed upon the possession of Canaan, and more especially that which characterized the period of the judges. God's "counsel" was to make Israel free and glorious, but they leaned upon themselves, following their own intentions (בּעצתם); wherefore they perished in their sins. The poet uses מכך (to sink down, fall away) instead of the נמק (to moulder, rot) of the primary passage, Lev 26:39, retained in Eze 24:23; Eze 33:10, which is no blunder (Hitzig), but a deliberate change. |
27 For, lo, they that are far [07369] from thee shall perish [06]: thou hast destroyed [06789] all them that go a whoring [02181] from thee.
36 And they served [05647] their idols [06091]: which were a snare [04170] unto them.
32 Thou shalt make [03772] no covenant [01285] with them, nor with their gods [0430].
33 They shall not dwell [03427] in thy land [0776], lest they make thee sin [02398] against me: for if thou serve [05647] their gods [0430], it will surely be a snare [04170] unto thee.
16 And thou shalt consume [0398] all the people [05971] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall deliver [05414] thee; thine eye [05869] shall have no pity [02347] upon them: neither shalt thou serve [05647] their gods [0430]; for that will be a snare [04170] unto thee.
5 But thus shall ye deal [06213] with them; ye shall destroy [05422] their altars [04196], and break down [07665] their images [04676], and cut down [01438] their groves [0842], and burn [08313] their graven images [06456] with fire [0784].
52 Then ye shall drive out [03423] all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] from before [06440] you, and destroy [06] all their pictures [04906], and destroy [06] all their molten [04541] images [06754], and quite pluck down [08045] all their high places [01116]:
10 Therefore, O thou son [01121] of man [0120], speak [0559] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; Thus ye speak [0559], saying [0559], If our transgressions [06588] and our sins [02403] be upon us, and we pine away [04743] in them, how should we then live [02421]?
23 And your tires [06287] shall be upon your heads [07218], and your shoes [05275] upon your feet [07272]: ye shall not mourn [05594] nor weep [01058]; but ye shall pine away [04743] for your iniquities [05771], and mourn [05098] one [0376] toward another [0251].
39 And they that are left [07604] of you shall pine away [04743] in their iniquity [05771] in your enemies [0341] ' lands [0776]; and also in the iniquities [05771] of their fathers [01] shall they pine away [04743] with them.
26 Nevertheless they were disobedient [04784], and rebelled [04775] against thee, and cast [07993] thy law [08451] behind [0310] their backs [01458], and slew [02026] thy prophets [05030] which testified [05749] against them to turn [07725] them to thee, and they wrought [06213] great [01419] provocations [05007].
40 Therefore was the wrath [0639] of the LORD [03068] kindled [02734] against his people [05971], insomuch that he abhorred [08581] his own inheritance [05159].
41 And he gave [05414] them into the hand [03027] of the heathen [01471]; and they that hated [08130] them ruled [04910] over them.
42 Their enemies [0341] also oppressed [03905] them, and they were brought into subjection [03665] under their hand [03027].
43 Many [07227] times [06471] did he deliver [05337] them; but they provoked [04784] him with their counsel [06098], and were brought low [04355] for their iniquity [05771].
43 And there shall ye remember [02142] your ways [01870], and all your doings [05949], wherein ye have been defiled [02930]; and ye shall lothe [06962] yourselves in your own sight [06440] for all your evils [07451] that ye have committed [06213].
21 For, behold, the LORD [03068] cometh out [03318] of his place [04725] to punish [06485] the inhabitants [03427] of the earth [0776] for their iniquity [05771]: the earth [0776] also shall disclose [01540] her blood [01818], and shall no more cover [03680] her slain [02026].
5 The earth [0776] also is defiled [02610] under the inhabitants [03427] thereof; because they have transgressed [05674] the laws [08451], changed [02498] the ordinance [02706], broken [06565] the everlasting [05769] covenant [01285].
33 So ye shall not pollute [02610] the land [0776] wherein ye are: for blood [01818] it defileth [02610] the land [0776]: and the land [0776] cannot be cleansed [03722] of the blood [01818] that is shed [08210] therein, but by the blood [01818] of him that shed [08210] it.
17 They sacrificed [02076] unto devils [07700], not to God [0433]; to gods [0430] whom they knew [03045] not, to new [02319] gods that came [0935] newly [07138] up [0935], whom your fathers [01] feared [08175] not.
31 Thou shalt not do [06213] so unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: for every abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068], which he hateth [08130], have they done [06213] unto their gods [0430]; for even their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323] they have burnt [08313] in the fire [0784] to their gods [0430].
16 And thou shalt consume [0398] all the people [05971] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall deliver [05414] thee; thine eye [05869] shall have no pity [02347] upon them: neither shalt thou serve [05647] their gods [0430]; for that will be a snare [04170] unto thee.
12 Take heed [08104] to thyself, lest thou make [03772] a covenant [01285] with the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] whither thou goest [0935], lest it be for a snare [04170] in the midst [07130] of thee:
33 They shall not dwell [03427] in thy land [0776], lest they make thee sin [02398] against me: for if thou serve [05647] their gods [0430], it will surely be a snare [04170] unto thee.
1 Now after [0310] the death [04194] of Joshua [03091] it came to pass, that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] asked [07592] the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Who shall go up [05927] for us against the Canaanites [03669] first [08462], to fight [03898] against them?
32 Thou shalt make [03772] no covenant [01285] with them, nor with their gods [0430].
34 They did not destroy [08045] the nations [05971], concerning whom the LORD [03068] commanded [0559] them:
