Joshua 24:8 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 24:8

And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt
on the other side Jordan
The kingdoms of Sihon and Og, and they fought with you; the two kings of them, and their armies:

and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land;
and which was now possessed by the two tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh:

and I destroyed them from before you;
the kings, their forces, and the inhabitants of their countries; the history of which see in ( Numbers 21:10-35 ) .

Joshua 24:8 In-Context

6 I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, and you came to the sea. The Egyptians chased your ancestors with chariots and horses to the Reed Sea.
7 Then they cried for help to the LORD. So he set darkness between you and the Egyptians. He brought the sea down on them, and it covered them. With your own eyes you saw what I did to the Egyptians. You lived in the desert for a long time.
8 “Then I brought you into the land of the Amorites who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They attacked you, but I gave them into your power, and you took over their land. I wiped them out before you.
9 Then Moab's King Balak, Zippor's son, set out to attack Israel. He summoned Balaam, Beor's son, to curse you.
10 But I wasn't willing to listen to Balaam, so he actually blessed you. I rescued you from his power.
