Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
Also I brought you up from ... Egypt - "brought up" is the phrase, as Egypt was low and flat and Canaan hilly. As also, in a moral point of view, the promised land was considered as occupying a dignity and elevation above idolatrous Egypt.
To possess the land of the Amorite. The Amorites strictly occupied both sides of the Jordan, and the mountains afterward possessed by Judah; but they here, as in Amos 2:9, stand for all the Canaanites.
And led you forty years through the wilderness. God kept Israel forty years in the wilderness, which tended to discipline them in His statutes, so as to be the better fitted for entering on the possession of Canaan.
