Commentary on Judges 3:1

Theological / Devotional

These are the nations. The writer, having finished his interpretation of the history of the entire period of the judges, now turns to enumerate the different peoples that were left in Canaan with whom the Israelites had to contend. In doing so, he adds another reason why these Canaanites were left, and also shows how social and religious fusion with the heathen went on apace (vs. 1-6).
