Exodus 34:23,24 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Thrice in the year shall all the men-children appear But it might be suggested, when all the males from every part were gone up to worship in the place that God should choose, the country would be left exposed to the insults of their neighbours; and what would become of the poor women and children? Trust God with them. Neither shall any man desire thy land Not only they shall not invade it, but they shall not so much as think of invading it. What a standing miracle was this, for so many generations!

Exodus 34:23-24

23 Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
