約書亞記 3:10-11 CUNPTS

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Joshua 3:10

Living God, in opposition to the idols of the Gentiles, who were dead men, or at least incapable of affording any assistance to their votaries. Josue gives the people two signs of the divine protection, the destruction of the devoted nations, and the miraculous division of the Jordan, or rather the latter prodigy would be an earnest of the former event; and all, both friends and enemies, might be convinced, that the Lord was with his people, and their present leader, as he had been with Moses.... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 3:7-13

7-13 The waters of Jordan shall be cut off. This must be done in such a way as never was done, but in the dividing of the Red sea. That miracle is here repeated; God has the same power to finish the salvation of his people, as to begin it; the WORD of the Lord was as truly with Joshua as with Moses. God's appearances for his people ought to encourage faith and hope. God's work is perfect, he will keep his people. Jordan's flood cannot keep out Israel, Canaan's force cannot turn them out again. read more

The Miraculous Wall of Water v. 9. And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither and hear the words of the Lord, your God, he addressed them in solemn assembly, as the congregation of Jehovah. v. 10. And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail, most certainly, according to His promise, Deuteronomy 7:1, drive out from before you the Canaanites, occupying chiefly the valley of Jordan and the Plain of Sharon, and the... read more

Joshua’s Regulations concerning the Passage through the JordanJoshua 3:1-131And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed [broke up1] from Shittim and came to [the] Jordan, he and all the children [sons] of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. 2And it came to pass after three days, that the officers 3[overseers] went through the host [camp]; and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the... read more

Joshua ‘THE WATERS SAW THEE; THEY WERE AFRAID’ Jos_3:5 - Jos_3:17 . The arrangement of the narrative of the passage of Jordan, which occupies Jos_3:1-17 and Jos_4:1-24 , is remarkable, and has led to suggestions of interpolation and blending of two accounts, which are quite unnecessary. It is divided into four sections,-the preparations Jos_3:1 - Jos_3:6, the passage Jos_3:7 - Jos_3:17, the lifting of the memorial stones from the river’s bed and the fixing of one set of them in it Jos_4:1 -... read more

the Jordan Safely Crossed Joshua 3:1-17 For three days the host faced that swollen river. It was enough to appall them, except that, like Abraham, they dared to behold it in the light of the divine promise. Every method was adopted to impress on them that the river was cleft by and for the Ark. The distance between the people and the advancing priests was purposely widened that there might be no doubt about the miracle. Whenever we step out on the unknown path, the Ark of the Covenant, which... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joshua 3:1-17

The first movement in the actual advance of the people into the land was of such a nature as to impress them with e truth of their positive relation to God. There was nothing in this first advance calculated to give them any cause for personal glorying. They came on to the actual soil of Canaan not by deflecting the course of the intervening river nor by bridging it, but by direct divine intervention. Divine power arrested the rushing river and made a highway for them to the other side. The... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Joshua 3:1-17

Crossing the Jordan Joshua 3:1-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We wish to discuss the preparatory steps to the crossing of the Jordan. These steps are set forth in the opening verses of our chapter. 1. Lodging near the river Jordan. Before they could go across they had to come down by the riverside. However, as we see the Children of Israel camped by Jordan we can but remember that "near," or "by," is not enough. The fathers or elders of Israel had, of old, camped at Kadesh-barnea, just at the borders... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 3:10

‘ And Joshua said, “By this you will know that the living God is among you, and will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.” ’ His emphasis was that they might be aware as a result of what happened that their God was a living God, One Who was there, One Who acted, One Who did wonders. And as they saw what He did there they would realise that this was proof that He... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 3:11

“ Behold, the Ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth, passes over before you into Jordan.” Joshua now added to ‘the Ark of the covenant’ the phrase ‘the Lord of all the earth’. He was probably remembering the words of Abraham ‘the Judge of all the earth’ (Genesis 18:25) and Melchizedek’s words to Abraham, ‘God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth (Genesis 14:19) and applying the idea to the present situation. Here He would be revealed as Lord of all the earth, not Judge (although the... read more
