Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joshua 1:9

This was not just good advice. Joshua was receiving orders from his Commander. Trembling or fearing would betray lack of confidence in God.Notice the chiastic structure of God’s charge to Joshua.A I will be with you (Joshua 1:5). B Be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:6-7). C That you may have success (Joshua 1:7). D This book of the law (Joshua 1:8). C’ Then you will have success (Joshua 1:8). B’ Be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:9).A’ The Lord your God is with you (Joshua 1:9).This structure... read more

Joshua expected to be able to cross the Jordan within three days."The Jordan River wanders about two hundred miles to cover the sixty-five mile distance from the Lake of Galilee to the Dead Sea, dropping an additional six hundred feet below sea level as it goes." [Note: Trent C. Butler, Joshua, p. 17. Cf. The New Bible Dictionary, 1962 ed., s.v. "Jordan," by J. M. Houston.] read more

Joshua by Divine Commission Succeeds MosesJoshua 1:1 to Joshua 5:12 record the preparations for the Holy War.1. Now (better, ’and’) after the death of Moses.. it came to pass] These words clearly mark the book which follows as a sequel to Deuteronomy. The book of Judges begins with a precisely similar phrase.The Lord spake unto Joshua] This formula ’the Lord spake,’ which so constantly recurs in the first books of the Bible, corresponds to the more direct formula of the prophets, ’Thus saith... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Joshua 1:10

JOSHUA’S FIRST ORDERS (Joshua 1:10-15).(10) Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people.—Joshua’s first orders to the people were to prepare for the passage of Jordan within three days. We may compare this event, in its relation to Joshua, with the giving of the law from Sinai to Moses. Both were preceded by a three days’ notice and a sanctification of the people. Both were means employed by God to establish the leaders whom He had chosen in the position which He designed for them. (Comp.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Joshua 1:11

(11) Prepare you victuals.—The question may be asked, what preparation is intended, since they had the manna, which did not cease until several days after they passed the Jordan. But it does not seem possible to assign any other meaning to the word except that of provision for a journey or for a warlike expedition. Perhaps the order was intended to prepare the Israelites for the transition from the manna to other food. It may be also that the manna which supported them in their pilgrimage... read more

Joshua Encouraged Joshua 1:1-11 'Be strong and of a good courage' (Joshua 1:6 ). When Luther was summoned before the Diet of Worms, his friends did all that they could to dissuade him from going. They were afraid that his safe-conduct would not be respected. But nothing would keep the brave Reformer back, and what was thought of his courage is shown in the words which a great captain is said to have addressed to him: 'Little monk! little monk! you are venturing today on a more hazardous march... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Joshua 1:6-9

CHAPTER V.JOSHUA’S ENCOURAGEMENT.Joshua 1:6-9. GOD has promised to be with Joshua, but Joshua must strive to act like one in partnership with God. And that He may do so, God has just two things to press on him: in the first place, to be strong and of a good courage; and in the second place, to make the book of the law his continual study and guide! In this way he shall be able to achieve the specific purpose to which he is called, to divide the land for an inheritance to the people, as God hath... read more

CHAPTER VI.JOSHUA’S CHARGE TO THE PEOPLE.Joshua 1:10-18. GOD has spoken to Joshua; it is now Joshua’s part to speak to the people. The crossing of the Jordan must be set about at once, and in earnest, and all the risks and responsibilities involved in that step firmly and fearlessly encountered. And in the steps taken by Joshua for this purpose we see, what we so often see, how the natural must be exhausted before the supernatural is brought in. Thus, in communicating with the people through... read more
