20:7 Our God, you drove out 1 the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and gave it as a permanent possession 2 to the descendants of your friend 3 Abraham.
1 tnHeb “did you not drive out?” This is another rhetorical question which expects a positive response; see the note on the word “heaven” in the previous verse.
2 tnHeb “permanently.”
3 tn Or perhaps “your covenantal partner.” See Isa 41:8.
