will put none2 parallels

The Israelites , if obedient , would have been subject to no maladies but those common to fallen man , and generally very healthy and long lived; being exempted from pestilential diseases , which have often most tremendously scourged guilty nations; and from such maladies in particular , as they had witnessed in Egypt , by which God afflicted their cruel oppressors . Exodus 15 . 26. This must be referred to the national covenant; for though godliness often secures the most solid temporal advantages , yet temporal blessings were not , even among them , uniformly dispensed to individuals according to their obedience; but they were to the nation , with an exactness which is not observed towards any other people

thou mayest3 parallels

As the Israelites were not yet sufficiently numerous to fill the whole land occupied by these nations; and as wild and ferocious animals might be expected to multiply where the place was but thinly peopled , therefore God informs them that their extermination from before them should be gradual. Haynes says , "The approaching to Cana , at the close of the day , as we did , is at once terrifying and dangerous. The surrounding country swarms with wild beasts , such as tigers , leopards , jackals , etc. , whose cries and howling , I doubt not , would strike the boldest traveller , who had not been frequently in a like situation , with the deepest sense of horror."
