11 "Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people , saying , 'Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you are to cross this Jordan , to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you, to possess it.' "

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joshua 1:11

Commentary on Joshua 1:10-15

(Read Joshua 1:10-15)

Joshua says to the people, Ye shall pass over Jordan, and shall possess the land; because God had said so to him. We honour the truth of God, when we stagger not at the promise of God. The two tribes and a half were to go over Jordan with their brethren. When God, by his providence, has given us rest, we ought to consider what service we may do to our brethren.
