Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets,.... Moses, and Joshua, and others, see Deu 7:3 saying, the land, unto which ye go to possess it; meaning the land
of Canaan: is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness; which is to be understood not of their idolatries only, but of their incestuous marriages, and impure copulations, on which account the Lord spewed out the old inhabitants of it; for which reason the Jews ought to have been careful not to have defiled it again by similar practices; see Lev 18:1 .
