Joshua 1:3 Meaning and Commentary
Joshua 1:3
Every place that the sole of your feet shall tread upon
That is, in the land of Canaan:
that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses:
(See Gill on Deuteronomy 11:24); though the Jews extend this to all without the land subdued by them, and even to all the countries they now tread on, and are exiles in; but the limits of what the Lord gave them are fixed in ( Joshua 1:4 ) .
