Joshua 2:10

Joshua 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 2:10

For we have heard how the Lord dried up the waters of the Red
sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt
To make a passage for them through it, to walk in as on dry land; this they had heard of and remembered, though it was forty years ago:

and what you did unto the kings of the Amorites that [were] on the
other side Jordan:
which were things more recent, done but a few months ago:

Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed;
the history of which see in ( Numbers 21:21-35 ) ; who were destroyed by them under Moses and Joshua their commanders; and Hercules, who is thought to be the same with Joshua, is by Lucian ^F7 called Ogmius, from slaying Og, as is supposed ^F8.
