📚 Historical Context
The Anakites were a race of giants living in Canaan who had terrified the Israelite spies 40 years earlier, causing the people to refuse to enter the Promised Land. Moses is now preparing the new generation to face these same intimidating enemies as they prepare to finally conquer the land God promised them.
