Josué 11:3

3 al cananeo que estaba al oriente y al occidente, al amorreo, al heteo, al ferezeo, al jebuseo en las montañas, y al heveo debajo de Hermón en tierra de Mizpa

Josué 11:3 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 11:3

[And to] the Canaanites on the east and on the west
That is, that particular nation of the seven so called, part of which dwelt in the eastern part of the land, by the dead sea, and by the coast of Jordan, ( Numbers 13:29 ) ; and others dwelt on the coast of the Mediterranean sea, which was to the west of the land:

and [to] the Amorite, and [to] the Hittite, and [to] the Perizzite:
which were scattered about in several parts of the country:

and the Jebusite in the mountains;
in the mountainous part of Judea, in the mountains about Jerusalem, and which they still inhabited, and did to the times of David:

and [to] the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh,
so described to distinguish them from the Gibeonites, who were also Hivites. Mizpeh is the place, as Kimchi thinks, where the people of Israel are often said to meet together; which he supposes they did, on account of the great salvation wrought here in Joshua's time. Hermon was a mountain that adjoined to Lebanon, where it is certain some of the Hivites dwelt, ( Judges 3:3 ) .

Josué 11:3 In-Context

1 Oyendo esto Jabín rey de Hazor, envió mensaje a Jobab rey de Madón, al rey de Simrón, al rey de Acsaf

2 y a los reyes que estaban a la parte del norte en las montañas, y en el llano al sur de Cineret, y en los llanos, y en las regiones de Dor al occidente

3 al cananeo que estaba al oriente y al occidente, al amorreo, al heteo, al ferezeo, al jebuseo en las montañas, y al heveo debajo de Hermón en tierra de Mizpa

4 Estos salieron, y con ellos todos sus ejércitos, pueblo muy grande, como la arena que está a la orilla del mar, con gran muchedumbre de caballos y carros

5 Todos estos reyes se juntaron, y viniendo reunieron los campamentos junto a las aguas de Merom, para pelear contra Israel
