Acts 13:19 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

These seven nations are mentioned, Joshua 3:10. He divided their land to them by lot; the lot being disposed only as God would, Proverbs 16:33. And it was but reasonable that God, having miraculously got this land, (for the Israelites did rather go to take possession of it than to fight for it), and assumed a special right unto it, that he should divide it to whom he pleased, and in what proportions he thought good.

Acts 13:19

19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
