 * 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.
