Giosué 11:4

Listen to Giosué 11:4
4 E quelli uscirono, con tutti i loro eserciti, formando un popolo innumerevole come la rena ch’è sul lido del mare, e con cavalli e carri in grandissima quantità.

Giosué 11:4 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 11:4

And they went out
The several kings and people sent to; these went out from the places they inhabited:

they and all their hosts with them;
the kings of those several places, with their armies:

much people, even as the sand that [is] upon the seashore in multitude;
a proverbial expression, to denote an exceeding great number:

with horses and chariots very many;
being supplied with horses from Egypt, and their chariots were chariots of iron; see ( Judges 4:3 ) ; Josephus F26 gives us the number of this great army, and says it consisted of three hundred thousand footmen, ten thousand horse, and thirty thousand chariots; some copies read only twenty thousand; and these chariots were armed with iron hooks or scythes, to cut down men as they drove along, and so were very terrible.

Giosué 11:4 In-Context

2 ai re ch’erano al nord nella contrada montuosa, nella pianura al sud di Kinnereth, nella regione bassa, e sulle alture di Dor a ponente,
3 ai Cananei d’oriente e di ponente, agli Amorei, agli Hittei, ai Ferezei, ai Gebusei nella contrada montuosa, agli Hivvei appiè dello Hermon nel paese di Mitspa.
4 E quelli uscirono, con tutti i loro eserciti, formando un popolo innumerevole come la rena ch’è sul lido del mare, e con cavalli e carri in grandissima quantità.
5 Tutti questi re si riunirono e vennero ad accamparsi assieme presso le acque di Merom per combattere contro Israele.
6 E l’Eterno disse a Giosuè: "Non li temere, perché domani, a quest’ora, io farò che saran tutti uccisi davanti a Israele; tu taglierai i garetti ai loro cavalli e darai fuoco ai loro carri".
