Parsha Eikev

It’s Sesame Street in Canaan! Blue skies, rolling hills, brooks, fountains - Oy! All we have to do is expel the folks who live there and all good gifts will be handed to us. Did I take in somebody say, “We’ll be welcomed as liberators?” that parsha additionally warns us that YHWH’s affection for us arises not from our own righteousness but considering the Canaanite’s are wicked. Given Israel’s rebellions, blasphemies and general stiff-neckedness, the Canaanites must be REALLY, REALLY WICKED.
