Josué 2:11

11 Por eso estamos todos tan amedrentados y descorazonados frente a ustedes. Yo sé que el SEÑOR y Dios es Dios de dioses tanto en el cielo como en la tierra.

Josué 2:11 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 2:11

And as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts did
melt
Particularly what were done to the two kings of the Amorites, who, and their people, were utterly destroyed, their goods made a prey of, and their countries seized upon and possessed:

neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you;
they looked dejected in their countenances, had no heart to go about any business, trembled at the shaking of a leaf, or at the least rumour and report made that the Israelites were coming on and were at hand; they had no spirit to prepare to go out and meet them, or to defend themselves:

for the Lord your God, he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth
beneath;
the Maker and Possessor of both; is the Governor of the whole universe, and does what he pleases in it; and disposes of all countries, persons, and things, as he thinks fit: this is a proof of her knowledge of the true God, and faith in him, and shows her to be a believer, and hence she is reckoned in the catalogue of believers, ( Hebrews 11:31 ) ; and her faith is proved to be of the right kind by the works she did, ( James 2:25 ) .

Josué 2:11 In-Context

9 y les dijo:—Yo sé que el SEÑOR les ha dado esta tierra, y por eso estamos aterrorizados; todos los habitantes del país están muertos de miedo ante ustedes.

10 Tenemos noticias de cómo el SEÑOR secó las aguas del Mar Rojo para que ustedes pasaran, después de haber salido de Egipto. También hemos oído cómo destruyeron completamente a los reyes amorreos, Sijón y Og, al este del Jordán.

11 Por eso estamos todos tan amedrentados y descorazonados frente a ustedes. Yo sé que el SEÑOR y Dios es Dios de dioses tanto en el cielo como en la tierra.

12 Por lo tanto, les pido ahora mismo que juren en el nombre del SEÑOR que serán bondadosos con mi familia, como yo lo he sido con ustedes. Quiero que me den como garantía una señal

13 de que perdonarán la vida de mis padres, de mis hermanos y de todos los que viven con ellos. ¡Juren que nos salvarán de la muerte!
