Josué 24:11

11 Y pasado el Jordán, vinisteis a Jericó; y los señores de Jericó pelearon contra vosotros: los amorreos, ferezeos, cananeos, heteos, gergeseos, heveos, y jebuseos; y yo los entregué en vuestras manos.

Josué 24:11 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 24:11

And ye went over Jordan
In a miraculous manner, the waters parting to make way for the host of Israel:

and came unto Jericho;
the first city of any size and strength in the land, which was about seven or eight miles from Jordan; (See Gill on Numbers 22:1);

and the men of Jericho fought against you;
by endeavouring to intercept their spies, and cut them off; by shutting up the gates of their city against Israel; and it may be throwing darts, arrows, and stones, from off the walls of it at them. Kimchi thinks that some of the great men of Jericho went out from thence, to give notice and warning to the kings of Canaan of the approach of the Israelites, and in the mean time the city was taken; and that these afterwards joined with the kings in fighting against Joshua and the people of Israel:

the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites and the Jebusites;
the seven nations of Canaan; this they did at different times, and in different places:

and I delivered them into your hand;
these nations and their kings.

Josué 24:11 In-Context

9 Y se levantó después Balac hijo de Zipor, rey de los moabitas, y peleó contra Israel; y envió a llamar a Balaam hijo de Beor, para que os maldijese.

10 Mas yo no quise escuchar a Balaam, antes os bendijo repetidamente, y os libré de sus manos.

11 Y pasado el Jordán, vinisteis a Jericó; y los señores de Jericó pelearon contra vosotros: los amorreos, ferezeos, cananeos, heteos, gergeseos, heveos, y jebuseos; y yo los entregué en vuestras manos.

12 Y envié avispas delante de vosotros, los cuales los echaron de delante de vosotros, a saber , a los dos reyes de los amorreos; no con tu espada, ni con tu arco.

13 Y os di la tierra por la cual nada trabajasteis, y las ciudades que no edificasteis, en las cuales moráis; y las viñas y olivares que no plantasteis, de las cuales coméis.
