The Hebrew root for "brought" is "בּוֹא" (bo), which means to come or to bring. This word underscores God's active role in fulfilling His promises to the Israelites. It is a reminder of His faithfulness and the divine guidance that has been a constant in their journey. This action is not just a historical event but a testament to God's unchanging nature and His commitment to His covenant people.<p><b>to the land of the Amorites</b><br />refers to a specific geographical and historical context. The Amorites were a significant group in the ancient Near East, often depicted as formidable opponents in the biblical narrative. The land of the Amorites was part of the territory east of the Jordan River, which the Israelites had to conquer before entering the Promised Land. This phrase highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to give Israel a land of their own, despite the challenges posed by powerful inhabitants. Historically, the Amorites were known for their advanced culture and military prowess, making Israel's victory over them a clear demonstration of God's power and favor.<p><b>who lived beyond the Jordan</b><br />The phrase "who lived beyond the Jordan" situates the Amorites geographically and historically. The Jordan River was a significant boundary in the ancient world, symbolizing a transition from the wilderness wanderings to the inheritance of the Promised Land. The term "beyond" indicates the land on the eastern side of the Jordan, which was initially occupied by the Amorites. This phrase serves as a reminder of the obstacles Israel faced and overcame through divine intervention. It also signifies a pivotal moment in Israel's history, marking the transition from a nomadic existence to settling in a land promised by God.<p><b>and they fought against you</b><br />The phrase "and they fought against you" highlights the opposition and conflict that Israel encountered. The Hebrew root for "fought" is "לָחַם" (lacham), which means to engage in battle or warfare. This word conveys the intensity of the struggle and the reality of the spiritual and physical battles that God's people often face. The Amorites' resistance is a reminder of the challenges that come with following God's path, yet it also sets the stage for God's deliverance and victory. This conflict underscores the theme of reliance on God for strength and victory in the face of formidable adversaries.<p><b>but I delivered them into your hand</b><br />The phrase "but I delivered them into your hand" is a powerful testament to God's intervention and deliverance. The Hebrew root for "delivered" is "נָתַן" (natan), meaning to give or to hand over. This word signifies God's authority and ability to control the outcomes of battles and the fate of nations. The phrase assures the Israelites that their victories are not by their own strength but by God's providence. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and His role as the ultimate deliverer, reinforcing the idea that success and triumph come from trusting in His power and promises.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/joshua/24.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 8.</span> -
