Josué 24:10

10 Mas yo no quise escuchar a Balaam, antes os bendijo repetidamente, y os libré de sus manos

Josué 24:10 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 24:10

But I would not hearken unto Balaam
Who was very solicitous to get leave of the Lord to curse Israel, which he knew he could not do without; he had a goodwill to it but could not accomplish it:

therefore he blessed you still;
went on blessing Israel to the last, when Balak hoped every time he would have cursed them; and Balaam himself was very desirous of doing it; but could not, being overruled by the Lord, and under his restraint; which shows his power over evil spirits, and their agents:

so I delivered you out of his hands:
both out of the hand of Balak, who was intimidated from bringing his forces against them, and out of the hand of Balaam, who was not suffered to curse them.

Josué 24:10 In-Context

8 Y os introduje en la tierra de los amorreos, que habitaban al otro lado del Jordán, los cuales pelearon contra vosotros; mas yo los entregué en vuestras manos, y poseisteis su tierra, y los destruí de delante de vosotros

9 Y se levantó después Balac hijo de Zipor, rey de los moabitas, y peleó contra Israel; y envió a llamar a Balaam hijo de Beor, para que os maldijera

10 Mas yo no quise escuchar a Balaam, antes os bendijo repetidamente, y os libré de sus manos

11 Y pasado el Jordán, vinisteis a Jericó; y los señores de Jericó pelearon contra vosotros: los amorreos, ferezeos, cananeos, heteos, gergeseos, heveos, y jebuseos; y yo los entregué en vuestras manos

12 Y envié avispas delante de vosotros, los cuales los echaron de delante de vosotros, a saber, a los dos reyes de los amorreos; no con tu espada, ni con tu arco
