Josué 3:10

10 Hoy sabrán que el Dios viviente está entre ustedes. Sin lugar a dudas, él expulsará a los cananeos, a los hititas, a los heveos, a los ferezeos, a los gergeseos, a los amorreos y a los jebuseos de delante de ustedes.

Josué 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 3:10

And Joshua said
To the people as follows:

hereby ye shall know that the living God [is] among you;
who has life in and of himself, and is the author of life to all his creatures; and is so called in opposition to the lifeless idols of the Gentiles: and it may be, as Abarbinel observes, to suggest to them, that though Moses was dead, the Lord lived, and lives for evermore; and by the following miracle of dividing the waters of Jordan, it would be a plain case that the Lord was yet among them, to protect and defend them, deliver and save them:

and [that] he will without fail drive out from before you the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and
the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites;
all the seven nations are mentioned, even the Girgashites, who are sometimes omitted, to assure them of the expulsion of them all, to make way for their entire possession of the land of Canaan, as had been promised them.

Josué 3:10 In-Context

8 Dales la siguiente orden a los sacerdotes que llevan el arca del pacto: “Cuando lleguen a la orilla del río Jordán, den unos cuantos pasos dentro del río y deténganse allí”».

9 Entonces Josué les dijo a los israelitas: «Vengan y escuchen lo que dice el Señor
su Dios.

10 Hoy sabrán que el Dios viviente está entre ustedes. Sin lugar a dudas, él expulsará a los cananeos, a los hititas, a los heveos, a los ferezeos, a los gergeseos, a los amorreos y a los jebuseos de delante de ustedes.

11 ¡Miren, el arca del pacto que pertenece al Señor de toda la tierra los guiará al cruzar el río Jordán!

12 Elijan ahora a doce hombres de las tribus de Israel, uno de cada tribu.
