DEUTERONOMY (7:22)   וְנָשַׁל יְ-הוָה אֱ-לֹהֶיךָ אֶת הַגּוֹיִם הָאֵל מִפָּנֶיךָ מְעַט מְעָט לֹא תוּכַל כַּלֹּתָם מַהֵר פֶּן תִּרְבֶּה עָלֶיךָ חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה דברים ז:כב v'-na-shal a-do-nai e-lo-he-kha et ha-go-him ha-ayl mi-pa-ne-kha m'-at m'-at lo tu-khal ka-lo-tam ma-hayr pen tir-be a-le-kha kha-yat ha-sa-de Shabbat Inspiration In this week's Torah portion (Deut. 7:12-11:25), God assures the people with a surprising promise, saying that He "will drive out those nations from before you, little by little." Would it not be more comforting to know that the conquest of the Land would be quick? Our verse provides the answer: If all of the Canaanites would quickly flee, large areas would be left unpopulated, allowing for wild beasts to roam the Land. To prevent this, God tells the Israelites that they will capture the Land in stages. In today's world, we are fortunate to witness the remarkable return of the Jewish people to the Land. And, here too it has come in stages, just like in the times of the Bible.   Learn more in the Israel Bible, the only edition focusing on the Holy Land! » Cooking with Israeli Cowboys!
