Every place that the sole of your foot steps on will be yours. Your territory will be from the desert to Lebanon, and from the river, the Euphrates River, to the western sea.

Every place that the sole of your foot will tread. In response to Israel’s obedience (vv. Deu 11:22-23), the Lord promised to give Israel all the land they had personally stepped on as far as the borders He had given. This same promise was repeated in Josh 1:3-5. Had Israel faithfully obeyed God, her borders would have been extended to fulfill the promise made to Abraham (Gen 15:18). But due to Israel’s disobedience, the entire promise of the entire earth still remains, to be fulfilled in the full future of the Messiah (cf. Eze 36:8-38).
