Jueces 3:28

Jueces 3:28 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 3:28

And he said unto them, follow after me
This he said to encourage them, putting himself at the head of them showing himself ready to expose his own life, if there was any danger:

for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hands;
which he concluded from the success he had had in cutting off the king of Moab which had thrown the Moabites into great confusion and distress, and from an impulse on his mind from the Lord, assuring him of this deliverance:

and they went down after him:
from the mountain of Ephraim:

and took the fords of Jordan towards Moab;
where the river was fordable, and there was a passage into the country of Moab, which lay on the other side Jordan; this they did to prevent the Moabites, which were in the land of Israel, going into their own land upon this alarm, and those in the land of Moab from going over to help them:

and suffered not a man to pass over;
neither out of Israel into Moab, nor out of Moab into Israel.

Jueces 3:28 In-Context

26 Mientras esperaban, Aod se escapó. Pasó junto a las canteras y huyó a Seirat.

27 Cuando llegó allí, tocó la trompeta en la región montañosa de Efraín, y los israelitas descendieron de la montaña, con él a la cabeza.

28 «Síganme —les ordenó—, porque el SEÑOR ha entregado en manos de ustedes a sus enemigos los moabitas». Bajaron con él y, tomando posesión de los vados del Jordán que conducían a Moab, no dejaron pasar a nadie.

29 En aquella ocasión derrotaron a unos diez mil moabitas, todos robustos y aguerridos. No escapó ni un solo hombre.

30 Aquel día Moab quedó sometido a Israel, y el país tuvo paz durante ochenta años.
