By paralleling Joshua with Moses, the text emphasizes that Joshua is the rightful successor, continuing the mission of leading Israel into the Promised Land. This also points to the typology of Christ, as both Moses and Joshua serve as types of Christ, leading God's people to salvation and rest.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/joshua.htm">Joshua</a> The central figure in this passage, Joshua is the leader of the Israelites following Moses.

Observe that Joshua's position, as equal to Moses in the respect of the people, dates from the passage of Jordan, a fact not to be forgotten in considering his Antitype.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/joshua/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 14. - On that day the Lord magnified Joshua. This was not, as Calvin remarks, the chief aim of the miracle. But it was, nevertheless, one important result of it. Joshua was the appointed leader of the Israelites, and he was under God's special protection and guidance. But however much God may overrule our human nature to His own purposes, He never abrogates the laws of its working. Confidence in a leader, from a human point of view, is one of the most essential requisites for success in war. Therefore in the crossing of the Jordan we find Joshua directing all the operations, though the direction of affairs might have been put into other hands, that of Eleazar the high priest, for instance. But this was the public attestation of the secret intimation God had given Joshua (<a href="/joshua/1-5.htm">Joshua 1:5</a>): "As I was with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not fail thee nor forsake thee." From this point onward we see no signs of hesitation on the part of the Israelites; nothing but the most unwavering confidence in the Divine mission, as well as in the extraordinary natural gifts, of their leader. <a href="/commentaries/joshua/4-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>On that הַה֗וּא (ha·hū) Article | Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are day בַּיּ֣וֹם (bay·yō·wm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day the LORD יְהוָה֙ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel exalted גִּדַּ֤ל (gid·dal) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1431.htm">Strong's 1431: </a> To grow up, become great Joshua יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ (yə·hō·wō·šu·a‘) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3091.htm">Strong's 3091: </a> Joshua -- 'the LORD is salvation', Moses' successor, also the name of a number of Israelites in the sight בְּעֵינֵ֖י (bə·‘ê·nê) Preposition-b | Noun - cdc <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5869.htm">Strong's 5869: </a> An eye, a fountain of all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc and they revered וַיִּֽרְא֣וּ (way·yir·’ū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3372.htm">Strong's 3372: </a> To fear, to revere, caus, to frighten him אֹת֔וֹ (’ō·ṯōw) Direct object marker | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_853.htm">Strong's 853: </a> Untranslatable mark of the accusative case all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the days יְמֵ֥י (yə·mê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day of his life, חַיָּֽיו׃ (ḥay·yāw) Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2416.htm">Strong's 2416: </a> Alive, raw, fresh, strong, life just as כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר (ka·’ă·šer) Preposition-k | Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that they had revered יָרְא֥וּ (yā·rə·’ū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3372.htm">Strong's 3372: </a> To fear, to revere, caus, to frighten Moses. מֹשֶׁ֖ה (mō·šeh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4872.htm">Strong's 4872: </a> Moses -- a great Israelite leader, prophet and lawgiver <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joshua/4-14.htm">Joshua 4:14 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/joshua/4-14.htm">Joshua 4:14 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/joshua/4-14.htm">Joshua 4:14 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/joshua/4-14.htm">Joshua 4:14 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/joshua/4-14.htm">Joshua 4:14 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/4-14.htm">Joshua 4:14 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/4-14.htm">Joshua 4:14 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/4-14.htm">Joshua 4:14 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/4-14.htm">Joshua 4:14 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/joshua/4-14.htm">Joshua 4:14 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/joshua/4-14.htm">OT History: Joshua 4:14 On that day Yahweh magnified Joshua (Josh.
