Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 1:10-18.


Joshua 1:14

_ _ ye shall pass ... armed — that is, officered or marshalled under five leaders in the old and approved caravan order (see on Exodus 13:18).

_ _ all the mighty men of valour — The words are not to be interpreted strictly as meaning the whole, but only the flower or choice of the fighting men (see on Joshua 4:12).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 1:10-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 1:14

Before their brethren — In the front of all of them; which was but reasonable; because they had the advantage of their brethren, having actually received their portion, which their brethren had only in hope, because they were freed from those impediments which the rest were exposed to, their wives, and children, and estates being safely lodged; and to prevent their withdrawing themselves from the present service, which they otherwise would have had temptation to do, because of the nearness of their habitations. Armed — For by this time they were well furnished with arms, which they had either from the Egyptians, Amalekites, or Amorites, from whom they had taken them; or by purchase from those people by whose borders they passed. Men of valour — All such were obliged to go over if occasion required it, but Joshua took only some of them, because they were sufficient for his purpose, and because some were fit to be left, both to secure their own wives, children, and possessions, and to prevent their enemies on that side from giving them disturbance in their enterprise upon Canaan.
