Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Exodus 34:24

I will cast out the nations; so thou shalt have no intestine enemy to do time or thine mischief. This God promised to do, but upon condition of Israel's discharge of their duty in following God in this work of driving them out, which they neglecting, it was not fully done. Neither shall any man desire thy land; I will not only tie their hands, that they shall make no invasion upon you, but I will take off their thoughts and affections from such an enterprise, which it was very easy for God to effect many ways.
