Josué 24:11

11 E quando vós, passando o Jordão, viestes a Jericó, pelejaram contra vós os homens de Jericó, e os amorreus, os perizeus, os cananeus, os heteus, os girgaseus, os heveus e os jebuseus; porém os entreguei na vossa mao.

Josué 24:11 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 24:11

And ye went over Jordan
In a miraculous manner, the waters parting to make way for the host of Israel:

and came unto Jericho;
the first city of any size and strength in the land, which was about seven or eight miles from Jordan; (See Gill on Numbers 22:1);

and the men of Jericho fought against you;
by endeavouring to intercept their spies, and cut them off; by shutting up the gates of their city against Israel; and it may be throwing darts, arrows, and stones, from off the walls of it at them. Kimchi thinks that some of the great men of Jericho went out from thence, to give notice and warning to the kings of Canaan of the approach of the Israelites, and in the mean time the city was taken; and that these afterwards joined with the kings in fighting against Joshua and the people of Israel:

the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites and the Jebusites;
the seven nations of Canaan; this they did at different times, and in different places:

and I delivered them into your hand;
these nations and their kings.

Josué 24:11 In-Context

9 Levantou-se também Balaque, filho de Zipor, rei dos moabitas, e pelejou contra Israel; e mandou chamar a Balaão, filho de Beor, para que vos amaldiçoasse;

10 porém eu não quis ouvir a Balaão; pelo que ele vos abençoou; e eu vos livrei da sua mao.

11 E quando vós, passando o Jordão, viestes a Jericó, pelejaram contra vós os homens de Jericó, e os amorreus, os perizeus, os cananeus, os heteus, os girgaseus, os heveus e os jebuseus; porém os entreguei na vossa mao.

12 Pois enviei vespões adiante de vós, que os expulsaram de diante de vós, como aos dois reis dos amorreus, não com a vossa espada, nem com o vosso arco.

13 E eu vos dei uma terra em que não trabalhastes, e cidades que não edificastes, e habitais nelas; e comeis de vinhas e de olivais que não plantastes.
