What Does Psalms 106:34 Mean?
God's command was clear: drive out the nations already in Canaan so that Israel's culture and faith would not be corrupted. Instead, the people made compromises and covenants with the inhabitants.
This failure to complete the conquest represented spiritual compromise from the start of settlement. Rather than maintaining separation from pagan practices, they allowed the mixture that would eventually lead them astray.
