Josué 11:3

3 Llamó además a los cananeos de oriente y occidente, a los amorreos, a los hititas, a los ferezeos, a los jebuseos de las montañas y a los heveos que viven en las laderas del monte Hermón en 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 Cuando Jabín, rey de Jazor, se enteró de todo lo ocurrido, convocó a Jobab, rey de Madón, y a los reyes de Simrón y de Acsaf.

2 También llamó a los reyes de la región montañosa del norte; a los de la región al sur del lago Quinéret; a los de los valles, y a los de Nafot Dor, al occidente.

3 Llamó además a los cananeos de oriente y occidente, a los amorreos, a los hititas, a los ferezeos, a los jebuseos de las montañas y a los heveos que viven en las laderas del monte Hermón en Mizpa.

4 Todos ellos salieron con sus ejércitos, caballos y carros de guerra. Eran tan numerosos que parecían arena a la orilla del mar.

5 Formaron un solo ejército y acamparon junto a las aguas de Merón para pelear contra Israel.
