The Key Word — אוֹרִ֤ישׁ, 'o.Rishgenerated
The verb יָרַשׁ (*yarash*) means to dispossess or take possession, indicating a strong action of driving out others to claim land. It is in the Hiphil stem, which implies causation — God will cause the nations to be driven out before Israel.
This word is significant in the context of Israel's conquest of Canaan, where God promises to act on their behalf. The use of the first person singular indicates God's direct involvement in the process, assuring the Israelites of His power and presence.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses drive out for אוֹרִ֤ישׁ, which is also reflected in the KJV and ASV.
Where others part company with the BSB is in the rendering of שָׁלֹ֥שׁ. The BSB and most versions use three, while the KJV and others opt for thrice.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse is structured around a series of actions initiated by God, with the finite verb אוֹרִ֤ישׁ governing the clause. It is followed by a sequence of promises and conditions, creating a flow that emphasizes God's active role in Israel's future.
The main clause is followed by several phrases that elaborate on the conditions of Israel's worship and the assurance of divine protection, illustrating the interconnectedness of their actions and God's promises.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates אוֹרִ֤ישׁ as ἐκβάλω, which means 'I will cast out.' This choice highlights the forceful nature of God's action in dispossessing the nations, aligning with the Hebrew meaning.
The translation choice also suggests a strong emphasis on God's sovereignty and authority over the land and nations, reinforcing the promise made to Israel.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Exodus 34:24 shows God promising to drive out other nations and expand Israel's borders, ensuring that no one will desire their land during their annual visits to worship Him. This reflects God's commitment to protect and provide for His people as they fulfill their religious obligations.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It means that God will drive out the nations currently occupying the land, allowing Israel to take possession of it.
This is significant because it assures the Israelites that they will have peace and security in their territory while they fulfill their religious duties.

Matthew Poole1624–1679Matthew Poole's Commentary on the Holy BibleI will cast out the nations; so thou shalt have no intestine enemy to do time or thine mischief.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) I will . . . enlarge thy borders.—The promise of “a land” for his posterity made by God to Abraham was twofold. At first it was the “land of Canaan” alone which they were to receive (Genesis 12:5-7); but subsequently the promise was extended, and made to include the entire tract of territory between “the river of Egypt” (the Nile) and “the great river, the river Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18). In remarkable parallelism with this double promise was the double fulfilment. At first Canaan alone was occupied, but under David and Solomon the borders were greatly enlarged; and “Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river (Euphrates) unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which aligns closely with its wording. However, the Samaritan Pentateuch presents three differing words, suggesting variations in the text's transmission. The Dead Sea Scrolls fragment shows partial agreement but contains restorations, indicating some textual challenges.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
יהוה is used with אלהים and suffixes, especially in D
the phrase † אֲנִי יהוה is noteworthy

The phrase "three days and three nights," Mt 12:40, was equivalent in Hebrew to the English "three days;" the Jews employing the expression "a day and a night" to denote our "day" of twentyfour hours. Nor did "three days," 1Sa 30:13, literally "this third day," according to their usage, necessarily include the whole of three days, but a part of three days, a continuous period including one whole day of twenty-four hours, and a portion of the day preceding it and the day following it. Compare Ge 7:12,17 1Sa 30:12-13.

Year
Heb. shanah, meaning “repetition” or “revolution” (Gen. 1:14; 5:3). Among the ancient Egyptians the year consisted of twelve months of thirty days each, with five days added to make it a complete revolution of the earth round the sun. The Jews reckoned the year in two ways, (1) according to a sacred calendar, in which the year began about the time of the vernal equinox, with the month Abib; and (2) according to a civil calendar, in which the year began about the time of the autumnal equinox, with the month Nisan. The month Tisri is now the beginning of the Jewish year.
the highest ordinary division of time. Two years were known to, and apparently used by, the Hebrews. A year of 360 days appears to have been in use in Noah’s time. The year used by the Hebrews from the time of the exodus may: be said to have been then instituted, since a current month, Abib, on the 14th day of which the first Passover was kept, was then made the first month of the year. The essential characteristics of this year can be clearly determined, though we cannot fix those of any single year. It was essentially solar for the offering of productions of the earth, first-fruits, harvest produce and ingathered fruits, was fixed to certain days of the year, two of which were in the periods of great feasts, the third itself a feast reckoned from one of the former days. But it is certain that the months were lunar, each commencing with a new moon. There must therefore have been some…
The Hebrews always had years of twelve months. But at the beginning, as some suppose, they were solar years of twelve months, each month having thirty days, excepting the twelfth, which had thirty-five days. We see, by the enumeration of the days of the deluge, Ge 7:1-8:22, that the original year consisted of three hundred and sixtyfive days. It is supposed that they had an intercalary month at the end of one hundred and twenty years, at which time the beginning of their year would be out of its place full thirty days. Subsequently, however, and throughout the history of the Jews, the year was wholly lunar, having alternately a full month of thirty days, and a defective month of twenty-nine days, thus completing their year in three hundred and fifty-four days. To accommodate this lunar year to the solar year, (365 days, 5 hours, 48…
