Joshua 2:10-11

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joshua 2:1-24

Chapter 2Now chapter two, Joshua sent out two men to spy out the land, actually to spy out Jericho, because Jericho was the first city that they were going to come to. Jericho is one of the oldest cities in the world. It was one of the first; it was the first city that they came to once they crossed the Jordan River.So these two spies came to Jericho, and they went into the house of a harlot's house, whose name was Rahab, and they had received them into her house ( Joshua 2:1 ).She shared with... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 2:1-24

Joshua 2:1 . Sent out two spies. Many read, “Joshua had sent out.” Being a wary general he would lose no time in gaining every kind of information. A harlot’s house, named Rahab. The word is rendered hostess, or landlady, as well as harlot. She got her bread by keeping a sort of inn. Her subsequent marriage and issue, in the line of David, indicate that she was no prostitute. But the Greek and Latin fathers all use the term harlot. Josephus follows the LXX in reading, γυναικος πορνης... read more

It was a difficult task that had been performed by Moses; did not a harder remain? It was something to lead such a host through the wilderness. Surely more is required now the armour is to be put on, active service entered, and they brought face to face with their foes. But was not Joshua specially called to the onerous duty? Certainly he was! We have... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Joshua 2:11

Jos 2:11 And as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. Ver. 11. For the Lord your God, he is God. ] As for our idols, they are very vanities, and cannot deliver us. The Tyrians, afraid their Apollo should forsake them at that time when Alexander besieged their city, chained and nailed that idol to a post, that they might be sure of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 2:1-24

THE ADVENTURES OF THE TWO SPIES, Joshua 2:1-24. [Some forty years before this date Moses had sent out from the wilderness of Paran twelve spies, and among them Joshua, to search the Land of Promise. It was not a secret movement then, but the chosen twelve were prominent chiefs, “heads of the children of Israel.” Numbers 13:3. Only two of the twelve brought back an encouraging report, and it is noticeable that Joshua, one of the old spies, and now Moses’ successor, sends only two to spy out... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 2:10

10. We have heard An event so wonderful filled the world with amazement. Traders and caravans passing from Egypt through the deserts would frequently pass through Jericho, and spread the tidings of the Hebrews’ triumphs. Of all the miracles which attended the exodus from Egypt, none was capable of producing so profound an impression upon all surrounding nations as the drying up of the Red Sea, the safe passage of the Israelites, and the destruction of the Egyptian host by the rolling back... read more
