Joshua 24:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 24:8

6 ‘Then I ^abrought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.

7 So they cried out to the Lord; and He put ^adarkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And ^byour eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness ^ca long time.

8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt on the other side of the Jordan, ^aand they fought with you. But I gave them into your hand, that you might possess their land, and I destroyed them from before you.

9 Then ^aBalak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose to make war against Israel, and ^bsent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.

10 ^aBut I would not listen to Balaam; ^btherefore he continued to bless you. So I delivered you out of his hand.

11 Then ^ayou went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. And ^bthe men of Jericho fought against you—also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. But I delivered them into your hand.

12 ^aI sent the hornet before you which drove them out from before you, also the two kings of the Amorites, but ^bnot with your sword or with your bow.

13 I have given you a land for which you did not labor, and ^acities which you did not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.’

14 ^a“Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in ^bsincerity and in truth, and ^cput away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of¹ the River and ^din Egypt. Serve the Lord!
