What is described as a sin of omission in Israel according to the material?

• A. Falling to drive out their enemies.
• B. Worshiping the gods of their enemies.
• C. Failing to keep the Sabbath.
• D. Ignoring the Levites.

Answer: (A)

A failure to carry out a commanded action—specifically, not driving out the inhabitants of the land as God instructed—is described as the sin of omission. The material shows that when Israel left these enemies in place, they neglected a direct command and allowed the pagan nations and their practices to persist among them, which led to spiritual compromise. The other options describe active disobedience of different commands (worshiping other gods, neglecting the Sabbath, or ignoring the Levites) rather than this particular failure to act, which is why the omission to drive them out is the focus of the described sin.
