[[Deut-09]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Deut-08]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Deut-10]] --- ### Hear, Israel! You are to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky, a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, "Who can stand before the sons of Anak?" Know therefore today that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Moses predicts that the Israelites will successfully cross the Jordan River and defeat the powerful, giant-like inhabitants of Canaan, known as the Anakim, through divine intervention. *Historical context*: The fulfillment of this prophecy is recorded in the Book of Joshua. [[Josh|Joshua 3]] details the miraculous crossing of the Jordan River, and [[Josh-11#v21|Joshua 11:21]]-22 explicitly describes Joshua's military campaign that destroyed the Anakim from the hill country, specifically Hebron, Debir, and Anab, fulfilling the prediction that they would be brought down before Israel. *Related to*: ### 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 Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The conquest of Canaan is identified as the fulfillment of the centuries-old covenant and oath that God made with the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob regarding the land of Canaan. *Historical context*: This refers back to the 'Abrahamic Covenant' established in [[Gen-12#v7|Genesis 12:7]], 15:18-21, and 26:3, where God promised the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, and other nations to Abraham's seed. The entry of Israel into the land under Joshua’s leadership marks the historical realization of this divine oath. *Related to*: [[Gen-15#v18|Genesis 15:18]]-21 --- #ai_prophecy
