Joshua 24:3 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I took your father; I apprehended him by my grace, and snatched him out of that idolatrous and wicked place, and took him into acquaintance and covenant with myself, which was the highest honour and happiness he was capable of. Led him throughout all the land of Canaan, i.e. I brought him after his father's death into Canaan, Genesis 12:1, and I conducted and preserved him in safety in all his travels through the several parts of Canaan. Multiplied his seed, i.e. gave him a numerous posterity, not only by Hagar and Keturah, but even by Sarah and by Isaac, as it follows. Gave him Isaac, by my special power and grace, to be the heir of my covenant, and all my promises, and the seed in or by which all nations were to be blessed, Genesis 12:3, Genesis 21:2.
