Berean Study Bible

Then you crossed the Jordan
This phrase marks a significant transition for the Israelites, both geographically and spiritually. The crossing of the Jordan River symbolizes a passage from the wilderness into the Promised Land, a fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham. The Hebrew root for "crossed" (עָבַר, 'avar) implies a movement from one state to another, suggesting not just a physical crossing but a spiritual transformation. Historically, the Jordan River served as a boundary, and crossing it was a bold step of faith, reminiscent of the earlier crossing of the Red Sea. This act signifies God's faithfulness and the Israelites' obedience.

and came to Jericho
Jericho is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, and its mention here is significant. The city's name in Hebrew (יְרִיחוֹ, Yericho) is thought to be derived from a word meaning "fragrant" or possibly linked to the moon. Jericho was a fortified city, representing the first major challenge in the conquest of Canaan. Its walls were formidable, yet the Israelites' victory there, as described in Joshua 6, was achieved through faith and divine intervention, not military might. This underscores the theme of reliance on God rather than human strength.

And the citizens of Jericho fought against you
This phrase highlights the resistance the Israelites faced upon entering the Promised Land. The "citizens of Jericho" were Canaanites, and their opposition represents the broader spiritual and physical battles the Israelites would encounter. The Hebrew term for "fought" (נִלְחָם, nilcham) conveys a sense of struggle and conflict. This opposition is a reminder of the spiritual warfare believers face, as described in Ephesians 6:12, and the need for reliance on God's power.

as did also the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites
These names represent the various peoples inhabiting Canaan, each with their own cultures and deities. The mention of these groups underscores the comprehensive nature of the conquest and the diverse challenges the Israelites faced. Historically, these tribes were known for their idolatry and moral corruption, which God sought to purge from the land. The listing of these nations serves as a reminder of the spiritual and cultural battles that accompany the physical conquest, echoing the call for holiness and separation from worldly influences.

But I delivered them into your hand
This phrase is a powerful testament to God's sovereignty and faithfulness. The Hebrew root for "delivered" (נָתַן, natan) means to give or bestow, emphasizing that victory was a gift from God, not earned by human effort. This divine intervention is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, illustrating that success comes from God's grace and power. It serves as an encouragement to believers that God is in control and will fulfill His promises, as seen in Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" This assurance of divine support is foundational to the Christian faith.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 11. - And ye went over Jordan. This epitome of Joshua's deals with his own narrative just as it does with that of Moses. The miraculous portions of the history are passed over, or lightly touched, but there is not the slightest discrepancy between the speech and the history, and the miraculous element is presupposed throughout the former. The men of Jericho. Literally, the lords or possessors of Jericho. The seven Canaanitish tribes that follow are not identical with, but supplementary to, the lords of Jericho. Fought against you. The word is the same as that translated "warred" in ver. 9. The people of Jericho did not fight actively. They confined themselves to defensive operations. But these, of course, constitute war.
