Joshua 10:15

15 reversusque est Iosue cum omni Israhel in castra Galgalae

Joshua 10:15 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 10:15

And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp
to Gilgal.
] That is, he thought to have returned, had determined upon it, and prepared for it, but was prevented by hearing that the five kings had hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah; which he ordered to be stopped up till the people had finished the pursuit of their enemies, when he destroyed Makkedah, and which led him on to the conquest of other places before he returned; or else this verse stands not in its proper place, or is superfluous, since the same is expressed ( Joshua 10:43 ) ; after all the above mentioned was done; the Septuagint version leaves it out.
