Joshua 18:9 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came [again] to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.

Ver. 9. And the men went and passed through the land.] The Lord securing them according as their trust was in him. Deo confisi nunquam confusi. A believer walketh through the world as a conqueror, being safe guarded by the peace of God within him, Php 4:7 and the power of God without him. 1Pe 1:5 He committeth all his ways to God, depending upon him for direction and success, Psa 37:5 resting on his might and mercy in time of dread, Psa 69:3 yet ever careful to serve God's providence by use of lawful means, and not to thrust himself into unnecessary dangers. Pro 28:26

And came again to Joshua.] After seven months, saith Josephus.
