Berean Study Bible

At that time
This phrase situates the events within a specific historical context. It refers to the period after the Israelites had defeated the Amorite kings, Sihon and Og. Historically, this was a pivotal moment for the Israelites as they were on the brink of entering the Promised Land. The phrase underscores the immediacy and relevance of God's actions and commands in the unfolding narrative of Israel's journey.

I commanded Joshua
The act of commanding Joshua highlights the transfer of leadership from Moses to Joshua. Joshua, whose name in Hebrew, "Yehoshua," means "Yahweh is salvation," is being prepared to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. This command signifies a divine endorsement of Joshua's leadership and a continuation of God's covenant promises through him.

You have seen with your own eyes
This phrase emphasizes the importance of personal witness and experience in the faith journey. Joshua's firsthand observation of God's mighty works serves as a foundation for his faith and leadership. It reflects a biblical principle that personal experience of God's power strengthens faith and conviction.

all that the LORD your God has done
This phrase acknowledges the sovereignty and active involvement of God in the affairs of His people. The Hebrew name for God used here, "Yahweh," signifies His eternal presence and covenant faithfulness. The deeds of the LORD are a testament to His power and His commitment to fulfill His promises to Israel.

to these two kings
Referring to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, this phrase highlights specific victories that God granted to Israel. These victories were not just military successes but were seen as acts of divine intervention and fulfillment of God's promises. Historically, these conquests were crucial in establishing Israel's presence in the region.

The LORD will do the same
This phrase is a prophetic assurance of God's continued faithfulness and power. It reassures Joshua and the Israelites that just as God delivered them from past enemies, He will continue to do so in the future. It reflects the unchanging nature of God and His commitment to His people.

to all the kingdoms you are about to enter
This phrase points to the future conquests in the Promised Land. It is a promise of victory over the Canaanite kingdoms that lay ahead. Theologically, it signifies the unfolding of God's redemptive plan and the establishment of Israel in the land promised to their forefathers. It is a call to trust in God's promises and to move forward in faith.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(21, 22) I commanded Joshua at that time. . . . Thine eyes have seen.--"Thine eyes are the witnesses of all," &c. The conquest of Sihon and Og, as well as that of Amalek, was to be impressed upon Joshua (comp. Exodus 17:14) as a precedent for his encouragement, and also for his instruction. It is remarkable that no details are given us of the battles against Sihon and Og, or of the capture of the cities, except in Joshua 12:6, "Them did Moses the servant of the Lord smite." We see the reflection of Moses' campaign, which is unwritten, in the recorded campaigns of Joshua. The peculiar form of the sentence, "Thine eyes are they that see," may also serve to remind us of the fact, that though the Law was given by Moses, no eye saw its full breadth and grasp until it came into the hand of Jesus, the antitype of Joshua.

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 21, 22. - Joshua appointed as Moses successor in the leadership. Verse 21. - At that time, i.e. after the conquest of the land on the east of the Jordan (see Numbers 27:12, etc.). Thine eyes have seen, etc. Joshua was directed to what he had himself witnessed, what his own eyes had seen, in the destruction of Sihon and Og and their hosts, that he might be encouraged to go forward in the course to which he had been called; and the people are reminded of this, that they may keep in mind what God had done for Israel, and may without fear follow Joshua as their leader to the conquest of Canaan (comp. Deuteronomy 31:23).
