Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Joshua 1:5-9
"There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it, to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Joshua 1:10-11
"Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it.""Within three days ..."

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joshua 1:9
Ver. 9. Have not I commanded thee? &c.— These are the grounds of that intrepid courage which was to animate the soul of Joshua 1:0 st, The calling wherewith God had dignified him. 2nd, The positive promise of a lasting protection. REFLECTIONS.—Moses had been a faithful servant; but death is the common lot of man.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joshua 1:10
Ver. 10. Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people— Obedient to the divine injunction, Joshua hastens to take all those measures which human prudence could suggest to a pious mind in the present emergency. He commands the schoterim, i.e. the officers subordinate to the schophetim, or judges, whose sentences they published and put in execution. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joshua 1:11
Ver. 11. Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals— They were to make proclamation throughout the several tribes, in all the camps of Israel, to provide themselves with such victuals as the countries of Sihon and Og, which they had lately conquered, afforded. But to what purpose is this precaution, since the Israelites every morning found manna from heaven for their food? Without quoting all the answers given by interpreters to this question, we shall content... read more

11-13. command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals—not manna, which, though it still fell, would not keep; but corn, sheep, and articles of food procurable in the conquered countries. for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan—that is, the third day, according to Hebrew idiom—the time allotted for getting ready before the encampment in Abel-Shittim broke up and they removed to the desert bank of the river where no victuals were available. At the same time Joshua himself convened... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Joshua 1:1-18
1:1-5:15 ENTRY INTO CANAANPreparations (1:1-2:24)God’s command to Joshua was brief and straightforward: he was to take the land of Canaan.

Israel would not win the land without a fight, but the people had God’s assurance that wherever they advanced they would gain possession (1:1-5). As leader of the people, Joshua had the assurance of God’s presence,... read more
