📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, God is speaking to Moses after the Israelites have escaped from Egypt and are wandering in the wilderness, following their rebellion with the golden calf. God reaffirms His covenant promise to give them the Promised Land, but He specifies that He will send an angel to lead them and drive out the pagan nations inhabiting it, such as the Canaanites and Amorites. This reflects God's faithfulness to His people despite their unfaithfulness, as He prepares the way for them to possess the land He swore to their ancestors.
