“And I also have said to you:” these words point to the threat already expressed in Num 33:55; Jos 23:13, in the event of their not fulfilling the command of God, which threat the Lord would now fulfil. From the passages mentioned, we may also explain the expression לְצִדִּים לָכֶם וְהָיוּ, they shall be in your sides, i.e., thorns in your sides. לְצִדִּים is an abbreviated expression for בְּצִדֵּיכֶם לִצְנִינִים in Num 33:55, so that there is no necessity for the conjecture that it stands for לְצָרִים. The last clause of Jdg 2:3 is formed after Exo 23:33.
