1)

What is the connection between this Pasuk and the previous one?

1.

Rashi: 'If you will do your job, then I will do Mine!' 1

2.

Seforno: 'If you will do everything in order to do the will of Hashem, He will provide you with the means to sustain yourselves, to enable you to achieve your goal. 2

3.

Oznayim la'Torah: You will live long in the land - if you will keep all the Mitzvos.


1

And the 'Vav' means 'then'. Refer to 11:14:1:1*.

2

Refer to 11:14:1:3*

2)

The Torah implies that Hashem will drive out all the nations in one go. Why are we not afraid of the wild animals - which the Pasuk referred to earlier, in 7:22?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah: Because the Pasuk there is predicting that they will sin and not be worthy of the miracle mentioned here; whereas the current Pasuk is informing us of the miracle that will occur in the event that they keep all the Mitzvos. 1


1

As Rashi explained there.

3)

Why does the Pasuk insert the word "Kol ha'Goyim ha'eileh"?

1.

Sifri: To include whoever comes to assist the above-mentioned nations - whom Hashem will also drive away. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 65.

4)

What are the implications of "Goyim Gedolim va'Atzumim Mikem"?

1.

Rashi: It implies that you are strong, but the Cana'anim are stronger than you. 1


1

Rashi: Because if Yisrael were not strong, the Torah's praise of the Cana'anim "va'Atzumim mikem" would be meaningless.
