You. Many still survived, and had seen these wonders, as God had only exterminated those who had murmured. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 24:1-14

1-14 We must never think our work for God done, till our life is done. If he lengthen out our days beyond what we expected, like those of Joshua, it is because he has some further service for us to do. He who aims at the same mind which was in Christ Jesus, will glory in bearing the last testimony to his Saviour's goodness, and in telling to all around, the obligations with which the unmerited goodness of God has bound him. The assembly came together in a solemn religious manner. Joshua spake... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Joshua 24:1-13

A Review of God's Mercies v. 1. And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, a gigantic assembly of people in the place which was hallowed by so many memories, ever since the time of Abraham, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, Joshua 23:2; and they presented themselves before God, for this last appeal was made in the name of Jehovah. v. 2. And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Joshua 24:1-15

the Lesson of Israel’s History Joshua 24:1-15 The previous chapter contains Joshua’s own last words of warning to Israel; here he is God’s mouthpiece: “Thus saith the Lord God of Israel.” There is, first, the recapitulation of past mercy. From time to time we should definitely recall, for our children’s sake, the divine interpositions in our national and domestic life. It is interesting in the opening words to learn that Abraham was called out of an idolatrous family. This was the pit whence... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joshua 24:1-33

Here we have the record of the final address of Joshua. In it he first concisely and comprehensively traced the Hebrews' history from the call of Abraham and did so in the form of the speech of Jehovah to them. In the brief compass of eleven verses the pronoun "I" as referring to Jehovah occurs no less than seventeen times. The whole movement emphasized the truth that everything of greatness in the history of the people was the result of divine action. Then he appealed to them with a touch of... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Joshua 24:1-18

Joshua's Farewell Words Joshua 24:1-18 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Before Joshua died he reviewed the history of Israel and in so doing he brought out the four great patriarchs who were so prominently aligned to Israel's call and life. 1. There is the remembrance of Abraham. The Bible has, in the New Testament, many backward glances at the life and words of Abraham. The Jews delighted in saying, "We have Abraham to our father." Abraham was a great and worthy follower of Christ. Christ said of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 24:6-7

“ And I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea, and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers, with chariots and horsemen, to the Sea of Reeds, and when they cried to YHWH he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them. And your eyes saw what I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness many days.” The scene was now passing to events that some of the elders among them had themselves experienced as children. YHWH declared how... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 24:1-13

JOSHUA’S FINAL ADDRESS: HIS DEATH AND BURIALCRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 24:1. To Shechem] This gathering was apparently held a few weeks or months after that named in the previous chapter. There was great appropriateness in the selection of Shechem. Here the covenant was first given to Abram (Genesis 12:6-7); in the immediate neighbourhood Jacob seems to have renewed it (Genesis 33:19-20), and under an oak at Shechem he had “put away the strange gods” of his family (Genesis 35:2-4), as Joshua now... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joshua 24:1-33

Chapter 24Chapter twenty-four, Joshua is continuing this final charge to the children of Israel. Picture now this old man he was. He was faithful to the Lord. He has done a good job, but now he is bent over with age. He has been weakened. His voice is probably shaky and trembling.And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, [Right in the heart of the land there between mount Ebal, and Gerezim.] and he called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, the... read more
