Josué 4:1-24 NVIPT

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Joshua 4:18

And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.Their place — Returned into their proper channel, according to their natural and usual course. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Joshua 4:19

And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.The first month — Namely, of Nisan, which wanted but five days of forty years from the time of their coming out of Egypt, which was on the fifteenth day of this month. So punctual is God in the performing of his word, whether promised or threatened. And this day was very seasonable for the taking up of the lambs which were to he used four days after, according to the... read more

And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.In Gilgal — Probably in order, like so many little pillars, to keep up the remembrance of this miraculous benefit. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Joshua 4:23

For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:Before us — That is, myself and Caleb, and all of us here present; for this benefit, though done to their fathers, is justly said to be done to themselves, because they were then in their parent's loins. It greatly magnifies later mercies, to compare them with former mercies; for hereby it appears,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 4:1-24

BUILDING MONUMENTS. Joshua 4:1-24. [This chapter, more than many others, affords us a noticeable example of the style of the Hebrew historian. While the central theme of the whole chapter is the building of the stone monument in Gilgal, observe how farther particulars of the passage of the Jordan are recorded, which the writer did not wish to interrupt the order of his narrative, in chapter 3, to tell. Strict chronological order is not sought after by him, but rather a record of the facts,... read more

5. Pass over before the ark Advance to a position immediately in front of the ark, and take up the stones. As this order seems to have been given after the people had crossed, we naturally understand that the twelve men passed back again to the place where the ark rested, and thence transported the stones, while all Israel stood beholding them. According unto the number of the tribes A memorial not only of the wonderful interposition of Jehovah, but of the federal unity of the nation one... read more

6. That this may be a sign among you By this simple device two grand purposes are subserved: (1.) The preservation of national history and religious knowledge; (2.) The religious education of the young. The inquisitiveness of the children is not to be repressed, but rather stimulated by impressive monuments of historical events, and by symbols of religious truths. “Object teaching,” which has recently been brought forward in the art of education, is here introduced as a method of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 4:7

7. Memorial… for ever The Hebrew word here used is the strongest one in the language to express eternity. But it is often used in a popular way to indicate not absolute eternity, but a period indefinitely long, especially when the “speaker is led by his strong desire to overlook the fact that what he is speaking of must have an end.” Keil. The importance of this memorial as a proof of the miraculous passage of the Jordan is thus set forth by Mr. Leslie: “Let us suppose that there never... read more

8. Israel did so They did so by their twelve representatives, according to the old law-maxim: Qui facit per allure, facit per se “He who acts through another acts through himself.” And laid them down They did not construct them into a monument. This Joshua did afterwards. Joshua 4:20. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 4:9

9. And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan [The and at the beginning of this verse, and twelve stones, without the article, indicate with sufficient clearness that these twelve stones were different from those just mentioned in Joshua 4:8. This is still more evident from the fact that these were set up in the midst of Jordan, those in Gilgal. Joshua 4:20. The fact that we find no record of any command from God to Joshua to erect this monument in the river does not... read more
