Josué 10:41

41 E hiriólos Josué desde Cades-barnea hasta Gaza, y toda la tierra de Gosén hasta Gabaón.

Josué 10:41 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:41

And Joshua smote them, from Kadeshbarnea
Which lay to the south of the land of Canaan, ( Numbers 13:17 Numbers 13:26 ) ( 32:8 ) ( 34:4 ) ;

even unto Gaza,
which lay to the southwest, and was one of the five principalities of the Philistines; of which city (See Gill on Amos 1:7); and (See Gill on Acts 8:26);

and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon;
to which he returned back in his way to his camp at Gilgal, having conquered all the southern part of the country. This country of Goshen is not that in the land of Egypt, as Kimchi rightly remarks. Bishop Cumberland ^F13 is of opinion, that the Phoenician or Canaanitish pastors, who were driven out of Egypt before their expulsion, inhabited that part of Egypt called Goshen, which the Israelites some years after dwelt in; and when those shepherds were driven out, they came into this part of the land of Canaan, and called it after the name of the country they left in Egypt; and might perhaps the rather choose to give it this name, because of the goodness and fruitfulness of it, in which it resembled the country they had formerly dwelt in.

Josué 10:41 In-Context

39 Y tomóla, y á su rey, y á todas sus villas; y metiéronlos á cuchillo, y destruyeron todo lo que allí dentro había vivo, sin quedar nada; como había hecho á Hebrón, así hizo á Debir y á su rey; y como había hecho á Libna y á su rey.

40 Hirió pues Josué toda la región de las montañas, y del mediodía, y de los llanos, y de las cuestas, y á todos sus reyes, sin quedar nada; todo lo que tenía vida mató, al modo que Jehová Dios de Israel lo había mandado.

41 E hiriólos Josué desde Cades-barnea hasta Gaza, y toda la tierra de Gosén hasta Gabaón.

42 Todos estos reyes y sus tierras tomó Josué de una vez; porque Jehová el Dios de Israel peleaba por Israel.

43 Y tornóse Josué, y todo Israel con él, al campo en Gilgal.
