Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 34:24

24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land , when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God, thrice in the year.

So thou shalt have no intestine enemy to do thee or thine mischief. This God promised to do, but upon condition of Israels discharge of their duty in following God in this work of driving them out, which they neglecting, it was not fully done.

I will not onely tye their hands, that they shall make no invasion upon you, but I will take off their thoughts and affections from such an enterprize, which it was very easie for God to effect many ways.
