     * great.

     * but the Lord.
       These fragments of ancient history seem to be introduced to
       encourage the Israelites.  If the Lord destroyed these
       gigantic people before the posterity of Lot and of Esau, what
       cause had the posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, his
       chosen servants and friends, to fear the Anakims, or the
       Canaanites? especially as Israel acted by commission from God,
       and had his promise as their security of success, and the
       pledge of it in his presence, and the wonders which he had
       already wrought for them; and as they were the only nation of
       worshippers of the Lord, in the ordinances of his institution,
       which could be found on earth.  This is so often repeated to
       possess the minds of the Israelites with a sense of God's
       providence, which rules every where; displacing one people,
       and placing another in their stead; and fixing their bounds
       also, which they cannot pass without his leave.
