Exodus 3:8 I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. Numbers 27:18-23 And the LORD replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man with the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him. / Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, and commission him in their sight. / Confer on him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him. ... Deuteronomy 31:7-8 Then Moses called for Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you will go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their fathers to give them, and you shall give it to them as an inheritance. / The LORD Himself goes before you; He will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:23 Then the LORD commissioned Joshua son of Nun and said, “Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land that I swore to give them, and I will be with you.” Hebrews 3:16-19 For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? / And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? / And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed? ... Acts 7:45 And our fathers who received it brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations God drove out before them. It remained until the time of David, Deuteronomy 11:31 For you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you. When you take possession of it and settle in it, Deuteronomy 1:38 Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.

Moses, the great leader and prophet, had led the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness for 40 years. His death signifies the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter. Moses is often seen as a type of Christ, a mediator between God and His people. His death also fulfills God's word in Deuteronomy 34:5-7, where Moses dies in Moab and is buried by God. This transition emphasizes the continuity of God's plan despite human mortality. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel. Persons / Places / Events 1. MosesThe servant of God who led the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness. His death marks a transition in leadership. 2. Joshua The appointed leader to succeed Moses, tasked with leading the Israelites into the Promised Land. 3. The Israelites The chosen people of God, descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who are to inherit the Promised Land. 4. The Jordan River A significant geographical boundary that the Israelites must cross to enter the Promised Land. 5. The Promised Land The land of Canaan, promised by God to the descendants of Abraham, a symbol of God's faithfulness and provision. Teaching Points Leadership TransitionGod’s work continues beyond individual leaders. Just as Joshua was called to succeed Moses, we must be ready to step into roles God prepares for us. Obedience to God’s Command Joshua’s call to "arise" and lead the people across the Jordan emphasizes the importance of immediate and faithful obedience to God’s directives. Faith in God’s Promises The command to cross the Jordan into the land God is giving them underscores the necessity of trusting in God’s promises, even when facing daunting challenges. God’s Faithfulness The transition from Moses to Joshua and the entry into the Promised Land is a testament to God’s unwavering faithfulness to His covenant with Israel. Courage in Uncertainty Joshua’s leadership required courage and strength, qualities that are essential for us when facing new and uncertain situations in our own lives.Verse 2. - Moses my servant is dead. "When you see Jerusalem overthrown, the altar forsaken, no sacrifices, no holocausts, no drink offerings, no priests, no Levitical ministry, when you see all these things cease, say it is because Moses the servant of God is dead, and Jesus the Sou of God obtains the leadership" (Origen, Hom. 2 on Joshua). This Jordan. Called "this" because it was now close to them, just as we have "this people, .... this Lebanon" (see note on ver. 4), etc. The name Jordan signifies "Descender," from the verb יָרַד to descend. The word fitly describes the headlong current of the river, which, according to Mr. Macgregor ('Rob Roy on the Jordan,' p. 282), has a fall of fifteen feet per mile, and if we subtract the Lake of Gennesareth and the lake and attendant marshes of Huleh, of thirty feet. Between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea, however, the average fall is much less. Just after leaving the Sea of Galilee its fall is over forty feet. (Conder, 'Handbook,' p. 216). It may be interesting to compare with this the average inclination of some of our own English rivers. The swiftest is the Dee, in Aberdeenshire, which has a fall of 16.5 ft. per mile. The Tweed and Clyde have a fall of 16 ft. and 14 ft. respectively, while the Severn has but 26.5 in., the Thames 18 in., and the Shannon 9 in. per mile. This comparative table will give the best idea of the rapidity of the Jordan. The various explorers bear testimony to the swiftness of its current. Thus Robinson, in his 'Biblical Researches,' says, "The current was so strong that even Komeh, a stout swimmer of the Nile, was carried down several yards in crossing." "It was so swift," says Dr. Bartlett ('Egypt and Palestine,' p. 452), "that a gentleman of another company, who went to bathe, was not suffered by his friends to do so without a rope most un-romantically attached to his person." This was in March, at the time of the overflowing (see chap. 3.), and he adds, "the turbid stream rushed along like a mill ace." Canon Tristram, visiting it in April, describes it as "rushing with tremendous force." It rises among the snows of Hermon, dashes down headlong into the lake Huleh, the Merom of the Book of Joshua, and thence, with a descent of 60 ft. per mile, into the Sea of Galilee. Thence it shapes its course, as we have seen, with greatly diminished velocity into that strange depression where the Dead Sea lies, at a level of 1,290 ft. beneath the level of the Mediterranean. I do give, literally, I am giving; i.e., at this moment, when you are preparing to enter it. Parallel Commentaries ...
