Context of Joshua 10:41

39He captured it — its king and all its villages. They struck them down with the sword and completely destroyed everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He treated Debir and its king as he had treated Hebron and as he had treated Libnah and its king. 40So Joshua conquered the whole region — the hill country, the Negev, the Judean foothills, and the slopes — with all their kings, leaving no survivors. He completely destroyed every living being, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded. Joshua conquered everyone from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon. 42Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign, because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel. 43Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.

Commentaries on Joshua 10:41

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 41And all the country of Goshen - Calmet contends that this was the very same country in which the Hebrews dwelt before their departure from Egypt; and according to this hypothesis he has constructed his map, causing it to extend from the Nile, which was called the river of Egypt, along the frontiers of the land of Cush or Arabia. It however appears plain that there was a city named Goshen in the tribe of Judah, see Joshua 15:51; and this probably gave name…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 41From Kadesh-barnea unto Gaza - Numbers 13:26 This limits Joshua‘s conquests on the west, as the other line, “all the country of Goshen unto Gibeon,” does on the east. Goshen Joshua 15:51 has not been identified. It was in the southern part of the territory of Judah, and is, of course, quite distinct from the Goshen of Genesis 46:28.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 28-43Verses 28-43 Joshua made speed in taking these cities. See what a great deal of work may be done in a little time, if we will be diligent, and improve our opportunities. God here showed his hatred of the idolatries and other abominations of which the Canaanites had been guilty, and shows us how great the provocation was, by the greatness of the destruction brought upon them. Here also was typified the destruction of all the enemies of the Lord Jesus, who…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 41This Goshen was not the region in Egypt’s Nile River delta (Genesis 47:27). It was a town in the hill country south of Jerusalem (Joshua 15:51). The area from Goshen as far as Gibeon marks the eastern boundary of Joshua’s southern campaign.Read the comment
