Teaching Points God's Faithfulness in Fulfillment of PromisesThe conquest of the Amorite lands demonstrates God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to the Israelites. Believers can trust in God's promises for their lives, knowing He is faithful to fulfill them. The Importance of Obedience and Courage The Israelites' victory required obedience to God's commands and courage to face formidable enemies. Christians are called to obey God's Word and be courageous in their spiritual battles. God's Sovereignty Over Nations The defeat of the Amorite kings illustrates God's sovereignty over all nations and rulers. Believers can find comfort in knowing that God is in control of world events and their personal circumstances. Spiritual Inheritance and Victory Just as the Israelites received a physical inheritance, Christians have a spiritual inheritance in Christ. Believers are encouraged to claim their spiritual victories through faith and perseverance. Remembering God's Past Victories Recalling past victories, as Moses does here, strengthens faith and encourages believers to trust God for future challenges. Reflecting on God's past faithfulness can inspire confidence in His continued provision.Verse 8. - Hermon (חֶרְמון), probably from חָרַם, to be high, "the lofty peak," conspicuous on all sides. By some the name is supposed to be connected with חֶרֶם, a devoted thing, because this mountain marked the limit of the country devoted or placed under a ban; and it is certainly remarkable that, at the extreme north-east and the extreme southwest of the laud conquered by the Israelites, names derived from Hereto, viz. Hermon and Hormah (Deuteronomy 1:44), should be found; as if to indicate that all between was devoted. Hermon is the southernmost spur of the Autilibanus range. It is "the second mountain in Syria, ranking next to the highest peak of Lebanon behind the cedars. The elevation of Hermon may be estimated at about 10,000 feet. The whole body of the mountain is limestone, similar to that which composes the main ridge of Lebanon, the central peak rises up an obtuse truncated cone, from 2000 to 3000 feet above the ridges that radiate from it, thus giving it a more commanding aspect than any other mountain in Syria. This cone is entirely naked, destitute alike of trees and vegetation. The snow never disappears from its summit" (Porter, 'Handbook, Syria and Palestine,' p. 431). At the present day it is known as Jebel esh-Sheikh (The Chief Mountain), also Jebel eth Thel (The Snow Mountain). Anciently also it had various names. By the Hebrews it was known also as Sion (שִׂיאֹן, the high, Deuteronomy 4:48); by the Sidonians it was called Sirion (שִׂרְיון = שִׁרְיון, a cuirass or coat of mail), probably from its shining appearance, especially when covered with snow and by the Amorites it was called Senir, a word probably of the same meaning. These names continued in use to a late period (cf. Psalm 99:6; Ezekiel 27:4; Song of Solomon 4:8; 1 Chronicles 5:23). Parallel Commentaries ...
