Cross-References
This is the account of Noah. Noah was a godly man; he was blameless among his contemporaries. He walked with God.
The Lord said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, for I consider you godly among this generation.
For in seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the ground every living thing that I have made."
And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.
Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters engulfed the earth.
Noah entered the ark along with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives because of the floodwaters.
Pairs of clean animals, of unclean animals, of birds, and of everything that creeps along the ground,
male and female, came into the ark to Noah, just as God had commanded him.
And after seven days the floodwaters engulfed the earth.
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month—on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it,.... The land of Canaan they were just now going into to take possession of; their introduction into which is here, as in many other places, ascribed not to themselves, or their leaders, but to the Lord as their covenant God:
and hath cast out many nations before thee; even all that were in it, the seven following:
the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites; the Canaanites were a particular nation in the land of Canaan, which had their name from Canaan himself; the rest were called from different sons of his; see Genesis 10:15, the country of the Gergesenes, the same with the Girgashites, continued its name unto the times of Christ, Matthew 8:28,
seven nations greater and mightier than thou; more in number, and more robust in body, some being of a gigantic stature; there were ten of these nations in Abraham's time, three of them were since sunk or swallowed up among the rest, the Kenites, and Kenizires, and the Rephaim; for instead of the Kadmonites the Hivites are here put, which seem to be the same.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See Deuteronomy 6:10 note.
Deuteronomy 7:5
Their groves - Render, their idols of wood: the reference is to the wooden trunk used as a representation of Ashtaroth; see Deuteronomy 7:13 and Exodus 34:13 note.
Deuteronomy 7:7
The fewest of all people - God chose for Himself Israel, when as yet but a single family, or rather a single person, Abraham; though there were already numerous nations and powerful kingdoms in the earth. Increase Deuteronomy 1:10; Deuteronomy 10:22 had taken place because of the very blessing of God spoken of in Deuteronomy 7:8.
Deuteronomy 7:10
Repayeth them that hate him to their face - i. e., punishes His enemies in their own proper persons.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VII
With the seven nations that God shall cast out, 1,
they shall make no covenant, 2,
nor form any matrimonial alliances, 3;
lest they should be enticed into idolatry, 4.
All monuments of idolatry to be destroyed, 5.
The Israelites are to consider themselves a holy people, 6;
and that the Lord had made them such, not for their merits, but
for his own mercies, 7, 8.
They shall therefore love him, and keep his commandments, 9-11.
The great privileges of the obedient, 12-24.
All idolatry to be avoided, 25, 26.
NOTES ON CHAP. VII
Verse Deuteronomy 7:1. Seven nations greater and mightier than thou — In several places of the Hebrew text, each of these seven nations is not enumerated, some one or other being left out, which the Septuagint in general supply. How these nations were distributed over the land of Canaan previously to the entering in of the Israelites, the reader may see in the note on "Joshua 3:10".
