I said, I will never break my covenant with you . . . but ye have not obeyed my voice--The burden of the angel's remonstrance was that God would inviolably keep His promise; but they, by their flagrant and repeated breaches of their covenant with Him, had forfeited all claim to the stipulated benefits.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

): that being taken into covenant with God they should make no league with the Canaanites, who were both his enemies and theirs,--that having set up his altar they should throw down their altars, lest they should be a temptation to them to serve their gods.
