Josué 10:21 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:21

And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah
in peace
Sound and well, as not one killed or missing, so not one wounded, as the Vulgate Latin version,

``sound and in full number:''

none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel;
as to curse them, reproach them, and speak ill of them, for invading them, and using them in the manner they did, such was the terror that was upon them. It may be supplied, "not a dog moved" his tongue, as in ( Exodus 11:7 ) ; as it was with them when they came out of Egypt, so it was when they entered the land of Canaan. It seems to be a proverbial expression, as Ben Gersom observes, signifying that no harm was done to them by word or deed.

Josué 10:21 In-Context

19 ¡Que nadie se detenga! Persigan a los enemigos y atáquenlos por la retaguardia. No les permitan llegar a sus ciudades. ¡El SEÑOR, Dios de ustedes, ya se los ha entregado!»

20 Josué y el ejército israelita exterminaron a sus enemigos; muy pocos de estos pudieron refugiarse en las ciudades amuralladas.

21 Finalmente, todos los israelitas retornaron a Maquedá sanos y salvos. ¡Nadie en la comarca se atrevía a decir nada contra Israel!

22 Entonces Josué mandó que destaparan la entrada de la cueva y que le trajeran los cinco reyes amorreos.

23 De inmediato sacaron a los cinco reyes de la cueva: los reyes de Jerusalén, Hebrón, Jarmut, Laquis y Eglón.
