A conditional promise.
"That is, if the Israelites continued to be obedient; but they did not, and therefore they never fully possessed the whole of that land which, on this condition alone." (Clarke, 1832)
It's really tough to follow reading the list of lands listed down on Joshua 13. Guzik was right on feeling tedious when studying the land of Israel when it doesn't matter to us (2006).
But what caught me interested on the study of Joshua 13 was Adam Clarke's commentary on this very conditional promise. He stated that the Israelites were disobedient at some point and I am not in a clear state to give a sure answer for that.
But I'm going to mark the name Misrephoth Maim, and the people of the Sidonians concerning of this promise.
Mr. David
