will put none . 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 mayest . 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."
