約書亞記 13:6 RCUVTS

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joshua 13:6

Ver. 6. All the inhabitants of the hill-country—will I drive out— God promises to expel these nations; but, upon a condition implied, that the Israelites did not render themselves unworthy this favour by their disobedience: a condition which having never been fulfilled, there is no room to wonder that the Lord did not give them all that he had promised. The Sidonians never submitted to the yoke of the Hebrews; and all that David and Solomon could do to the nations about Lebanon was to make them... read more

6, 7. All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim—(See on :-) —that is, "all the Sidonians and Phoelignicians." them will I drive out—The fulfilment of this promise was conditional. In the event of the Israelites proving unfaithful or disobedient, they would not subdue the districts now specified; and, in point of fact, the Israelites never possessed them though the inhabitants were subjected to the power of David and Solomon. only divide thou it by lot unto the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joshua 13:6

God’s promise to drive out all the remaining Canaanites depended on Israel’s obedience to the Mosaic Covenant (Joshua 1:6-7). [Note: See W. B. Riley, "The Challenge to Carry On," reprinted in Fundamentalist Journal 2:2 (February 1983):39-41.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 13:1-33

Territories of the Eastern Tribes1-7. These vv. describe the land which, though still unconquered, is to be assigned to the 9½ tribes. It includes the W. and N. borders of Palestine. Wellhausen (’History of Israel’) remarks, ’The conquest was at first but an incomplete one. The plain which fringed the coast was hardly touched: so also the valley of Jezreel with its girdle of fortified cities stretching from Accho to Beth-shean. All that was subdued in the strict sense of the word was the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 13:1-45

The SettlementThe summaries of Joshua 12 mark the end of one section of the book, and the opening words of Joshua 13 as clearly introduce the beginning of another.This central portion, embracing Joshua 13-21, has been called ’The Domesday Book of the Old Testament,’ and is invaluable as a groundwork for modern scientific explorers. ’The Book of Joshua’ (writes Col. Conder) ’is the great geographical book of the Old Testament, and the study of its geography is important, as showing that it was... read more

XIII.DESCRIPTION OF THE TERRITORY TO BE DIVIDED(Joshua 13:1-14).(b) According to its boundaries.(1) Joshua was old and stricken in years.—Rather, he had aged, and was advanced in days. Old is too absolute a word. He did not live beyond a hundred and ten years (Joshua 24:29), and this was not a great age for the time. But in several instances the Hebrew word here employed is used not so much in respect of the number of years men lived, but rather in regard to the weakening of the vital powers.... read more

Victories in Old Age Joshua 13:1 God often speaks very plainly. Few care to be told to their face that they are old. But the Almighty recognizes these awkward facts and bids men recognize them. He is sometimes almost blunt, as He was in addressing Joshua. His is the directness of loving faithfulness. Matthew Henry says: 'It is good for those who are old... to be put in remembrance of their being so'. And it was for Joshua's highest good that God now puts him in memory of this unwelcome fact.... read more

CHAPTER XXI.JOSHUA’S OLD AGE- DIVISION FOR THE EASTERN TRIBES.Joshua Ch. 13, 14:1-5. "THE Lord said unto Joshua, Thou art old and stricken in years." To many men and women this would not be a welcome announcement. They do not like to think that they are old. They do not like to think that the bright, joyous, playful part of life is over, and that they are arrived at the sombre years when they must say, ’’There is no pleasure in them." Then, again, there are some who really find it hard to... read more

1. Instruction Given: The Two and One-half Tribes CHAPTER 13 1. Jehovah speaks to Joshua (Joshua 13:1-7 ) 2. Inheritance of the two and one-half tribes (Joshua 13:8-33 ) About seven years had gone by since the passage over Jordan and Joshua, being old and advanced in years, is addressed by the Lord. He takes care of His servants in their old age and provides for their comfort. Much land was yet to be possessed. Israel never responded to the fulness of God’s gift to them. How great their... read more
