His leadership is marked by obedience to God and military prowess. The phrase "whole army" indicates the unity and full commitment of Israel's forces. This reflects the collective effort of the Israelites in fulfilling God's promise to give them the land of Canaan. The unity of the army under Joshua's command is reminiscent of the unity required in the body of Christ, as seen in <a href="/1_corinthians/12-12.htm">1 Corinthians 12:12-27</a>.<p><b>including all the mighty men of valor</b><br>The "mighty men of valor" refers to the elite warriors of Israel, known for their courage and strength. These men were crucial in the battles that Israel faced, symbolizing the importance of having strong and faithful leaders in spiritual warfare. This phrase highlights the necessity of bravery and faith in God's promises, as seen in the stories of other biblical figures like David's mighty men (<a href="/2_samuel/23-8.htm">2 Samuel 23:8-39</a>).<p><b>came from Gilgal</b><br>Gilgal was the first campsite of the Israelites after crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land. It served as a base of operations during the conquest of Canaan. Gilgal holds significant spiritual meaning as the place where the Israelites renewed their covenant with God through circumcision (<a href="/joshua/5-2.htm">Joshua 5:2-9</a>) and celebrated the Passover (<a href="/joshua/5-10.htm">Joshua 5:10</a>). It symbolizes a place of preparation and consecration before engaging in God's work.
