Joshua 3:9,10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Come hither To the ark or tabernacle, the place of public assemblies. Hear the words of the Lord your God Who is now about to give a proof that he is both the Lord, the omnipotent Governor of heaven and earth, and all creatures, and your God, in covenant with you, having a tender care and affection for you. Ye shall know By experience and sensible evidence. The living God Not a dull, dead, senseless idol, such as the gods of the nations are; but a God of life, and power, and activity, to watch over you and work for you. Among you Is present with you to strengthen and help you.
