2 | Who were the Canaanites? | Gen 24:3 | Inquisitor | 224806 | ||
Azure is right on target as to the identity of the Canaanites as they proved with their future fate from God through Moses and Joshua. But as to the why question, we're not given very much specific information. Of course later on, we learn that God wanted the nation of Israel or the Jews to maintain a pure bloodline for the introduction of His Son. Of course we also remember that He made an exception with Ruth as she became an actual part of that bloodline and she was a Gentile. As to the possibility of Abraham's knowing about this preference of God's pure bloodline, we can only guess. It does seem Abraham's mind was very close to that of God's Mind. Any thoughts from anyone else? God bless, Inquisitor |
