A Subtle Enemy

Three nations Hi Larissa

The Torah identifies those three nations as the "Keini, Knizi and Kadmoni", otherwise known as Edom, Moab and Ammon.

We will only conquer these three nations in the Messianic period, and even then, we are taught that we will conquer them peacefully, i.e. there will be no war.

Every one of the nations associated with Canaan represents an element of our own personalities that needs to be transformed from its primal state into holiness. The seven nations that Joshua conquered represent the seven main paradigms of emotion, which each of us can modify and transform. The three remaining nations represent the three modes of intellectual processing (Chochma/ innovation, Binah/understanding and Da'as/integration), which we will only learn to master and transform when Moshiach comes.
