Deuteronomy 9:6
"Not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
Key Reflection
This verse underscores that Israel's possession of the Promised Land is not due to their own righteousness but rather as divine judgment on the wickedness of the inhabitants. It also highlights God’s faithfulness in fulfilling His ancient promises to the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
