Yet their reading may be a correction of the original, which in that case would be a symptom of the carelessness of the writer in not sustaining the situation he assumed. The anthropomorphism, imputing an oath to the Deity, is found in JE (Gen 22:16<\/span>), especially in the phrases, sware unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob<\/em> (Gen 50:24<\/span>; Exo 32:13<\/span>; Exo 33:1<\/span>); to Abraham thy father<\/em> (Gen 26:3<\/span>); to thy fathers<\/em> or to them<\/em> (Num 11:12<\/span>; Num 14:16<\/span>; Num 14:23<\/span>); thee and thy fathers<\/em> (Exo 13:11<\/span>). Used in D of special oaths (Deu 1:34<\/span>, Deu 2:14<\/span>, Deu 4:21<\/span>); of the covenant (Deu 4:31<\/span>); or as here of the land which he sware unto thy, your, or our fathers<\/em>, 22 or 23 times.<\/p>\n Before you, <\/B>Heb. before your faces<\/I>; it is open to your view, and to your possession; there is no impediment in the way.

The order ofthe journey as indicated by the places mentioned would have led to acourse of invasion, the opposite of what was eventually followed;namely, from the seacoast eastwardinstead of from the Jordanwestward (see on Nu 20:1<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n Behold, I have set the land before you<\/strong>,…. Described it to them, and set its bounds, as well as had given them a grant of it:<\/p>\n go in and possess the land, which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and their seed after them<\/strong>: and which being thus made sure unto them, they had nothing more to do than to go and take possession of it.<\/p>\n (8) To give unto them.<\/strong>Note that the land is promised to Abraham, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, <\/em>not only to their seed. The promise is not forgotten, though the three patriarchs are in another world. (Comp. Act. 7:5<\/span>, and Heb. 11:16<\/span>.

So 2Ch 20:33 the high places were not taken away; for the people had not yet prepared their hearts for such a reformation: the work was ensnarled and retarded by their unfitness.
