Joshua 2:10

10 audivimus quod siccaverit Dominus aquas maris Rubri ad vestrum introitum quando egressi estis ex Aegypto et quae feceritis duobus Amorreorum regibus qui erant trans Iordanem Seon et Og quos interfecistis

Joshua 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 2:10

For we have heard how the Lord dried up the waters of the Red
sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt
To make a passage for them through it, to walk in as on dry land; this they had heard of and remembered, though it was forty years ago:

and what you did unto the kings of the Amorites that [were] on the
other side Jordan:
which were things more recent, done but a few months ago:

Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed;
the history of which see in ( Numbers 21:21-35 ) ; who were destroyed by them under Moses and Joshua their commanders; and Hercules, who is thought to be the same with Joshua, is by Lucian ^F7 called Ogmius, from slaying Og, as is supposed ^F8.

Joshua 2:10 In-Context

8 necdum obdormierant qui latebant et ecce mulier ascendit ad eos et ait

9 novi quod tradiderit Dominus vobis terram etenim inruit in nos terror vester et elanguerunt omnes habitatores terrae

10 audivimus quod siccaverit Dominus aquas maris Rubri ad vestrum introitum quando egressi estis ex Aegypto et quae feceritis duobus Amorreorum regibus qui erant trans Iordanem Seon et Og quos interfecistis

11 et haec audientes pertimuimus et elanguit cor nostrum nec remansit in nobis spiritus ad introitum vestrum Dominus enim Deus vester ipse est Deus in caelo sursum et in terra deorsum

12 nunc ergo iurate mihi per Dominum ut quomodo ego feci vobiscum misericordiam ita et vos faciatis cum domo patris mei detisque mihi signum verum
