Joshua 3:10

8 You shall command ^athe priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, ^byou shall stand in the Jordan.’ ”

9 So Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of the Lord your God.”

10 And Joshua said, “By this you shall know that ^athe living God is among you, and that He will without fail ^bdrive out from before you the ^cCanaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites:

11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of ^athe Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan.

12 Now therefore, ^atake for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from every tribe.

Joshua 3:9-13

JOSHUA ENCOURAGES THE PEOPLE. (Joshua 3:9-13)

Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord—It seems that the Israelites had no intimation how they were to cross the river till shortly before the event. The premonitory address of Joshua, taken in connection with the miraculous result exactly as he had described it, would tend to increase and confirm their faith in the God of their fathers as not a dull, senseless, inanimate thing like the idols of the nations, but a Being of life, power, and activity to defend them and work for them.
