the people did not perform their part of the covenant, and this is given
as the

reason why
the Lord had not driven out any more of the nations before them. The
covenant with Abraham was
in consideration of his past faith and obedience;
yet it was suspended upon the future obedience
of his posterity. See Deut. 7: 12, 13 and 11: 22 to 24; and Judges 2 to
20. The Lord gives the following as the reason why he had not given them
