Judges 3:5

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:" — Judges 3:5 (ASV)

Dwelt among the Canaanites ... —These nations are enumerated also in Exodus 33:2; Exodus 34:1. In Joshua 24:11 the Girgashites are added; in Ezra 9:1 the Ammonites and Moabites. (See Notes on those places.)

At this verse begins the second great section of the book (Judges 3:5–16), which Prof. Cassel summarises as “a history of sin repeating itself, and of Divine Grace constantly devising new remedies.”
