God's plan for gradual conquest and land settlement.
What Does Exodus 23:30 Mean?
The process of conquest is explicitly gradual, paced with Israel's growth and increasing capacity to settle and govern. As Israel's population increases and their strength develops, more territory opens to them. The land inheritance is tied to Israel's readiness to occupy it.
This gradual model allows Israel to become established before facing the full scale of conquest, ensuring they can actually hold and cultivate what is given to them.
