3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread
upon, that have I given unto youa,
as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this
aLebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates,
all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great bsea
toward the going down of the sun, shall be your ccoast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee
all the days of thy life: as I was with aMoses, so I
will be bwith thee: I will not fail thee, nor
cforsake thee.

3a Every place that the sole of your
foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you The real
significance of this statement may not be full understood. The Covenant
of Abraham stated that in him would the nations of the earth be blessed.
That covenant of the fathers fell to Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and then to
Eprhaim and Manasseh. When Israel was scattered and sifted throughout the
nations of the world, the 'sole of the foot' of Israel then did tread upon
all the places of the earth. And having done so, all the places of the
earth are given to Israel for the purpose of the fulfillment of the
covenant that all the nations of the earth would be blessed through the
seed of Abraham.
