EXODUS 34:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.”
Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. The six nations of the promised land return as the covenant's territorial context. Divine promise paired with human obligation — the covenant structure: God will drive them out; Israel must obey today. The obey that I command today is the daily, present-tense obedience that Deuteronomy will develop into its comprehensive covenant theology. Every day is a day of covenant renewal — today is always the day the covenant is lived or violated.
