The Hebrew word for "LORD" here is "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal presence and faithfulness to His people. In the context of Joshua, it underscores that the victories Israel experiences are not by their own might but by divine intervention. This reflects the broader biblical theme that God is sovereign and actively involved in the affairs of His people.also delivered The Hebrew root for "delivered" is "nathan," which means to give or to hand over. This conveys the idea that God is actively granting victory to Israel. It is not merely a passive allowance but an intentional act of God’s will. This highlights the belief that God is the ultimate source of success and deliverance, reinforcing the idea that Israel's victories are a fulfillment of divine promise rather than human achievement.it The pronoun "it" refers to the city of Libnah. This specificity indicates that God’s deliverance is not abstract but concrete and particular. Each city conquered by Israel is a testament to God’s faithfulness to His promises. The mention of "it" serves as a reminder that God’s promises are fulfilled in real, tangible ways.and its king The inclusion of "its king" signifies the complete overthrow of Libnah’s political and military power. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the king was often seen as the embodiment of the city’s strength and authority. By delivering both the city and its king into Israel’s hands, God demonstrates His supremacy over earthly powers and rulers.into the hand of Israel The phrase "into the hand of Israel" uses the Hebrew word "yad," meaning hand, which symbolizes power and possession. This indicates that Israel is now in control, having received authority and dominion over Libnah. It reflects the fulfillment of God’s promise to give the land to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, reinforcing the covenantal relationship between God and Israel.and Joshua Joshua, whose name means "Yahweh is salvation," is the leader chosen by God to succeed Moses. His role is pivotal as the human agent through whom God’s will is enacted. Joshua’s leadership is characterized by obedience and faith, serving as a model for godly leadership. His actions in this verse demonstrate his reliance on God’s guidance and strength.struck it The verb "struck" comes from the Hebrew "nakah," which means to smite or defeat. This action signifies the decisive and complete nature of the victory. It is a reminder of the seriousness of God’s judgment against those who oppose His people and purposes. The use of this word underscores the thoroughness of the conquest.with the edge of the sword This phrase indicates the method of conquest, which was common in ancient warfare. The "edge of the sword" symbolizes the totality of the destruction and the finality of the victory. It serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of opposing God’s will and the seriousness of His commands to Israel regarding the conquest of Canaan.leaving no survivors The phrase "leaving no survivors" reflects the concept of "herem," or the ban, which was a command for total destruction. This was not merely an act of war but a divine mandate to purify the land from idolatry and corruption. It underscores the holiness of God and the necessity of complete obedience to His commands.just as he had done to its king This phrase draws a parallel to previous victories, emphasizing consistency in God’s actions and Joshua’s obedience. It serves as a reminder of God’s faithfulness and the importance of following His instructions fully. The repetition of victory reinforces the theme of divine justice and the fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel. <a href="/commentaries/joshua/10-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And the LORD יְהוָ֨ה (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 also גַּם־ (gam-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1571.htm">Strong's 1571: </a> Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, and delivered וַיִּתֵּן֩ (way·yit·tên) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set [that city] אוֹתָ֜הּ (’ō·w·ṯāh) Direct object marker | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_853.htm">Strong's 853: </a> Untranslatable mark of the accusative case and its king מַלְכָּהּ֒ (mal·kāh) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king into the hands בְּיַ֣ד (bə·yaḏ) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand of Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל‪‬ (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 וְאֶת־ (wə·’eṯ-) Conjunctive waw | Direct object marker <a href="/hebrew/strongs_853.htm">Strong's 853: </a> Untranslatable mark of the accusative case [Joshua] struck down וַיַּכֶּ֣הָ (way·yak·ke·hā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5221.htm">Strong's 5221: </a> To strike all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the people הַנֶּ֙פֶשׁ֙ (han·ne·p̄eš) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5315.htm">Strong's 5315: </a> A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion with the sword, חֶ֗רֶב (ḥe·reḇ) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2719.htm">Strong's 2719: </a> Drought, a cutting instrument, as a, knife, sword leaving הִשְׁאִ֥יר (hiš·’îr) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7604.htm">Strong's 7604: </a> To swell up, be, redundant no לֹֽא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no survivors. שָׂרִ֑יד (śā·rîḏ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8300.htm">Strong's 8300: </a> A survivor And he did וַיַּ֣עַשׂ (way·ya·‘aś) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make to the king [of Libnah] לְמַלְכָּ֔הּ (lə·mal·kāh) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king as 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 he had done עָשָׂ֖ה (‘ā·śāh) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make to the king לְמֶ֥לֶךְ (lə·me·leḵ) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king of Jericho. יְרִיחֽוֹ׃ (yə·rî·ḥōw) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3405.htm">Strong's 3405: </a> Jericho -- a city in the Jordan Valley captured by Joshua <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joshua/10-30.htm">Joshua 10:30 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/joshua/10-30.htm">Joshua 10:30 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/joshua/10-30.htm">Joshua 10:30 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/joshua/10-30.htm">Joshua 10:30 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/joshua/10-30.htm">Joshua 10:30 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/10-30.htm">Joshua 10:30 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/10-30.htm">Joshua 10:30 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/10-30.htm">Joshua 10:30 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/10-30.htm">Joshua 10:30 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/joshua/10-30.htm">Joshua 10:30 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/joshua/10-30.htm">OT History: Joshua 10:30 Yahweh delivered it also with its king (Josh.
