So did Joshua. The implicit obedience of Joshua to all the commands he had received of God, whether directly or indirectly through Moses, is a striking feature of his character. Like most great soldiers, he possessed remarkable simplicity of disposition. He reminds us, in his rapidity of conception and execution, of Napoleon, but in his single minded eye to duty he is much more like our own Wellington. Only one instance in which he erred, that of the league with Gibeon, is recorded, and this was but an illlustration of the unsuspicious straightforwardness of his character (see notes on Joshua 19:49-51; 23:2; 24:15). <a href="/commentaries/joshua/11-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>As כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר (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 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 had commanded צִוָּ֤ה (ṣiw·wāh) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6680.htm">Strong's 6680: </a> To lay charge (upon), give charge (to), command, order His servant עַבְדּ֔וֹ (‘aḇ·dōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5650.htm">Strong's 5650: </a> Slave, servant Moses, מֹשֶׁ֣ה (mō·šeh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4872.htm">Strong's 4872: </a> Moses -- a great Israelite leader, prophet and lawgiver so 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 commanded צִוָּ֥ה (ṣiw·wāh) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6680.htm">Strong's 6680: </a> To lay charge (upon), give charge (to), command, order Joshua. יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ (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 That is what כֵּן־ (kên-) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3651.htm">Strong's 3651: </a> So -- thus 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 did, עָשָׂ֣ה (‘ā·śāh) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make leaving nothing לֹֽא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no undone הֵסִ֣יר (hê·sîr) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5493.htm">Strong's 5493: </a> To turn aside of all מִכֹּ֛ל (mik·kōl) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every that אֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that the LORD יְהוָ֖ה (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 had commanded צִוָּ֥ה (ṣiw·wāh) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6680.htm">Strong's 6680: </a> To lay charge (upon), give charge (to), command, order Moses. מֹשֶֽׁה׃ (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/11-15.htm">Joshua 11:15 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/joshua/11-15.htm">Joshua 11:15 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/joshua/11-15.htm">Joshua 11:15 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/joshua/11-15.htm">Joshua 11:15 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/joshua/11-15.htm">Joshua 11:15 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/11-15.htm">Joshua 11:15 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/11-15.htm">Joshua 11:15 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/11-15.htm">Joshua 11:15 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/11-15.htm">Joshua 11:15 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/joshua/11-15.htm">Joshua 11:15 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/joshua/11-15.htm">OT History: Joshua 11:15 As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant so (Josh.
