여호수아 7:10 KRV

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Joshua 7:1-26

JERICHO AND AI DIVINE ORDERS (Joshua 6:1-5 ) These verses should not be separated from the foregoing by a chapter division, since it is evident that the orders here received by Joshua were given by the Captain of the Lord’s host previously described. Observe another proof of His deity in the words, “I have given into thine hand Jericho.” The mode by which Joshua was to proceed (Joshua 6:3-5 ) calls for no explanation. What had been his own preparations for the attack on the city? Was he... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Joshua 7:1-26

Curious Conjunctions Joshua 7:0 APART from the main course of this narrative, there are some conjunctions of names which are full of interest, and full also of spiritual instruction and comfort. We have to go in search of some beautiful things: they do not always lie upon the broad and open surface. The loveliest parts of a country are not always seen by travellers who keep on the highway: they lie apart, they have to be sought for; there are little dells, waterfalls, tarns, and natural... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Joshua 7:10

Observe how instantly the Lord answers prayer. So Daniel found it while he was yet speaking. Daniel 9:21 . It is even so, when we lodge our sorrows and complaints before God. Here lies all the mighty difference between the carnal and the awakened. Carnal men in their crosses complain of God. Gracious souls complain to God. Where shall we go in our troubles, but to the Lord Jesus? See Job 23:3-4 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 7:10-15

10-15 God awakens Joshua to inquiry, by telling him that when this accursed thing was put away, all would be well. Times of danger and trouble should be times of reformation. We should look at home, into our own hearts, into our own houses, and make diligent search to find out if there be not some accursed thing there, which God sees and abhors; some secret lust, some unlawful gain, some undue withholding from God or from others. We cannot prosper, until the accursed thing be destroyed out of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Joshua 7:10-26

Achan Found Guilty and Punished v. 10. And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? This direct answer of Jehovah implied that Joshua had no reason to doubt the faithfulness of the Lord, but that the fault lay with the people. v. 11. Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. It was Israel that had broken faith by setting aside the obligations of the covenant of Jehovah; for they have even taken of the... read more

2. Achan’s TheftJoshua 7:0a. The Crime1But the children [sons] of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing [in respect to what was devoted]: for [and] Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing [of what was devoted]: and the anger of the Lord [Jehovah] was kindled against the children [sons] of Israel.b.

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Joshua 7:1-12

Joshua ACHAN’S SIN, ISRAEL’S DEFEAT Jos_7:1 - Jos_7:12 . This passage naturally parts itself into- 1 . The hidden sin Jos_7:1; 2 . The repulse by which it is punished Jos_7:2 - Jos_7:5; 3. The prayer of remonstrance Jos_7:6 - Jos_7:9; and 4. The answer revealing the cause Jos_7:10 - Jos_7:12. We may briefly note the salient points in these four divisions, and then consider the general lessons of the whole. I. Observe, then, that the sin is laid at the doors of the whole nation, while... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Joshua 7:1-15

the First Defeat and Its Cause Joshua 7:1-15 Israel was taught that victory is possible only where there are exact obedience and sincere consecration. We cannot cope with our foes, unless we live in unclouded fellowship with God. See 2 Chronicles 15:2 . Our spiritual allies in the heavenly places cannot co-operate while evil is harbored. Canaan was a gift to faith, and a strong spiritual life was peremptory. The gold and silver of Jericho were consecrated to God, so that Achan committed... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joshua 7:1-26

This chapter opens with a significant and ominous "But." So far we have had the record of remarkable progress but! We now see the triumphant people defeated and flying and the reason is declared. It was the sin of a man, but it was also the sin of the nation. Israel had now become a nation in very deed, and therefore no one person could act alone. Individualism is a far more tremendous responsibility when it has ceased to be mere individualism. The sin of the one became the sin of the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Joshua 7:1-10

The Woes of Achan Joshua 7:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Our Scripture opens with the following statement: "But the Children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing." The fact is as we all know that the trespass was committed by one man, Achan, the son of Carmi. However, even as a false brick in a building mars the beauty of the whole building; thus the sin of one affects a whole people. The Children of Israel sinned because Achan was one of their number, and no man sinneth unto... read more
