Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon that have I given you--meaning, of course, not universal dominion, but only the territory comprised within the boundaries here specified (see on Deu 19:8). |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
Every place
The law of appropriation. God gives, but we must take. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| "Namely, every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon," i.e., I have given you the whole land, not excepting a single foot's breadth. The perfect, "I have given," refers to the counsel of God as having been formed long before, and being now about to be carried into execution. These words, which are connected with Deu 11:24, so far as the form is concerned, rest upon the promise of God in Exo 23:30-31, to which the words "as I said unto Moses" refer. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Every place - That is, within the following bounds. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| The sole of your foot shalt tread upon - That is, the whole land occupied by the seven Canaanitish nations, and as far as the Euphrates on the east; for this was certainly the utmost of the grant now made to them; and all that was included in what is termed the promised land, the boundaries of which have already been defined. See Deu 34:1-4, and see Jos 1:4 (note) below. It has been supposed that the words, Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, were intended to express the ease with which they were to conquer the whole land, an instance of which occurs in the taking of Jericho. It was only their unfaithfulness to God that rendered the conquest in any case difficult. |
8 And if the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] enlarge [07337] thy coast [01366], as he hath sworn [07650] unto thy fathers [01], and give [05414] thee all the land [0776] which he promised [01696] to give [05414] unto thy fathers [01];
