Josué 7:1-9 NVIPT

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 7:6-9

CRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 7:6. Rent his clothes … put dust upon their heads] Both are ancient and common signs of mourning. They were practised among the Greeks and Romans, as well as among the Jews. With Joshua and the elders they were indicative of humiliation before God. MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Joshua 7:6-9DEFEATED AND PRAYINGDefeat is very painful when it comes to us as a first experience. The child, the business man, the soldier, each is troubled to bear his first humiliation of... read more

DISCOURSE: 249ISRAEL DISCOMFITED BY THE MEN OF AI [Note: Fast-day Sermon for disappointments and defeats in war.] Joshua 7:8. O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!UNINTERRUPTED prosperity is not to be expected in this changeable and sinful world. Even the most favoured of mankind must have some trials; nor is there any season when they can presume to say, “My mountain standeth strong; I shall not be moved.” If at any time Joshua and Israel might adopt... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joshua 7:1-26

Chapter 7Now in chapter seven we read that,The children of Israel committed a trespass against the Lord in the [holy thing, or in the] accursed thing: [rather] for Achan took of the accursed thing: [That is he took some of the spoil that they said was to go only to God, and he took it for himself.] and God's anger was kindled against the children of Israel ( Joshua 7:1 ).So Moses sent some men up to look over Bethel and Ai. Now Jordan is down in the plains. Jericho is down in the plains of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 7:1-26

Joshua 7:1 . The children of Israel committed a trespass; that is, Achan and his children, who concealed their father’s sin, by hiding the accursed plunder in their tent. The sin of one man is here attributed to all the people of Israel; as the sin of one member vitiates and shames the whole body. Joshua 7:2 . From Jericho to Ai; called Hai, Genesis 12:8; and Aija, Nehemiah 11:31. This town lay nine miles west of Jericho on a hill, and fell to the lot of Benjamin. There was another... read more

Joshua 7:1But the children of Israel committed a trespass Corporate responsibilityThis is here attributed to the whole people, which was really the act of but one man or one family.This is not because of any guilty participation in this trespass by others; there is no intimation that any others of the people were involved in a like crime. Nor is there any implication that others were privy to the crime of Achan, and by concealment of the fact became its abettors and sharers in its guilt. In all... read more

Joshua 7:2-5They fled before the men of Ai.The true measure of strengthIn every estimate of work to be done by men, or by money, the moral element ought to be taken into account as an important factor. Napoleon’s thought was that “God is on the side of the heaviest battalions.” But Napoleon did not consider the relative weight of battalions by God’s method of weighing them. One man’s strength may be as “the strength of ten, because his heart is pure”; and where two thousand righteous men would... read more

Joshua 7:6-9Joshua . . . fell . . . before the ark of the Lord.Joshua’s plea before the arkThe ark was the centre of mercy to Israel, and the glory of the tabernacle, their refuge in trouble, their security in danger, and their deliverance in distress. Here they mourned, and made supplication, where the cause only could be known, where relief only could come. From hence had proceeded all their pardons, their conquests, and possessions. But for the ark and the mercy-seat above, its... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Joshua 7:1

Jos 7:1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. Ver. 1. But the children of Israel committed. ] All were involved, because of the same body politic: and every man is bound to be his brother’s keeper, to see that the law be not only observed but preserved: since one sinner may... read more

Jos 7:2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. Ver. 2. To Ai. ] Called elsewhere Hai, and Aija; Gen 12:8 Neh 11:31 by the Septuagint, Gae; by Sulpitius, Geth.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Joshua 7:3

Jos 7:3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; [and] make not all the people to labour thither; for they [are but] few. Ver. 3. Let not all the people go up. ] But better they had, as it happened, in some respects. God’s holy hand was in it, and his holy will must be done and suffered. read more
