Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament fought for Israel, as Moses had promised them (Deut 1:30 and 3:22). Joshua 23:3 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you. "Before you," sc., smiting and driving them away. Joshua 23:4 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward. He (Joshua) had now divided by lot among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance these still remaining (Canaanitish) nations, as the Lord had commanded (Josh 13:6- 7), "from Jordan and further all the nations, which I have exterminated (i.e., which Joshua had destroyed when Canaan was taken), and the great sea (for 'to the great sea') in the west." The breadth of the land of Canaan is here given in a peculiar manner, the http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos139.html (2 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:19:35 p.m.]
Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament terminus a quo being mentioned in the first clause, and the terminus ad quem (though without the preposition `ad (OT:5704)) in the second; and through the parallelism which exists between the clauses, each clause is left to be completed from the other. So that the whole sentence would read thus: "All these nations which remain...from Jordan to the great sea, also all the nations which I have cut off from Jordan, and to the great sea westward." Joshua 23:5 And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you. For the Lord would drive all these still remaining nations before the Israelites, and cut them off, and give the Israelites their land for a possession, as He had promised (Josh 13:6; cf. Ex 23:23ff.). haadap (OT:1920), as in Deut 6:19; 9:4; and the form yehªdaapeem (OT:1920), with Chateph-kametz , on account of the weakness of the h , as in Num 35:20. yªrishªtem (OT:3423), as in Josh 1:15. Joshua 23:6-8 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left; Only let them be strong, i.e., be brave, to keep the law of Moses without fail (cf. Josh 1:7), to enter into no fellowship with these remaining nations ( bow' (OT:935), to enter into close intimacy with a person; see v. 12), and not to pay reverence to their gods in any way, but to adhere stedfastly to the Lord their God as they had hitherto done. To make mention of the names of the idols (Ex 23:13), to swear by them, to serve them (by sacrifices), and to bow down to them (to invoke them in prayer), are http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos140.html (1 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:19:38 p.m.]
