ヨシュア記 6:1-2 JCB

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 6:1-27

Joshua 5:13 to Joshua 6:27 . The Capture of Jericho.— The narrative begins at Joshua 5:13; Joshua 6:1 is an insertion (observe that RV places it in brackets), so that Joshua 6:2 should immediately follow Joshua 5:15. The captain of Yahweh’ s host is therefore Yahweh Himself. In the rest of the chapter we have a composite narrative, so skilfully compiled that at first sight there is not much fault to find. Closer inspection, however, shows that there are two signals for the fall of the walls—... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 6:1-5

THE SIEGE AND FALL OF JERICHOCRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 6:1. This verse is merely a parenthesis in the account of the interview, beginning chap. Joshua 5:13, and ending chap. Joshua 6:5.

Was straitly shut up] Marg. “Did shut up, and was shut up.” The antecedent act of closing—which probably followed the escape of the spies—and the continuance of that act, are both marked in the phrase.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joshua 6:1-27

Chapter 6So in chapter six we begin the conquering of the land. The method by which they took Jericho was very fascinating indeed.The Lord said to Joshua, I have given to you the city of Jericho, and its king, and his mighty men. Now you're to encircle the city, all of your men of war. You're to walk around the city once, and you're to do this for six days. And the seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and on the seventh day ye shall circle the city seven times,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 6:1-27

Joshua 6:4 . Seven trumpets of rams’ horns. Josephus uses this term, “rams’ horns:” but in most versions it is holy trumpets, or trumpets used in the Jubilee, as seems to be implied by the Hebrew word Jobel. Joshua 6:10 . Ye shall not shout. Men are apt to shout in war, and animals raise their cries when they fight. Joshua 6:21 . They utterly destroyed young and old. Moses commanded them in future wars to spare the women and the little ones, when storming a city. Deuteronomy 20:14.... read more

Joshua 6:1-5Now Jericho was straitly shut up.Shut upAn old writer says that every carnal heart is a Jericho shut up; God sits down before it and displays mercy and judgment: it hardens itself in a wilful security and saith, “I shall never be moved.” What numbers of men there are who close their hearts and keep them barred against God! God might have thrown down the walls of Jericho at once, but you must remember that He uses means to accomplish ends. God required Israel to walk round Jericho.... read more
