Commentaries on Joshua 13:6

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Misrephoth-maim - See on Joshua 11:7; (note). These will I drive out - That is, if the Israelites continued to be obedient; but they did not, and therefore they never fully possessed the whole of that land which, on this condition alone, God had promised them: the Sidonians were never expelled by the Israelites, and were only brought into a state of comparative subjection in the days of David and Solomon.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6The King James Version would exhibit the sense more clearly if the words from the beginning of Joshua 13:2 to the words “the Sidonians” in this verse were placed in a parenthesis, and the order of the words before us changed thus: “I will drive them out.” The “them” meaning the inhabitants of the “very much land to be possessed,” spoken of in Joshua 13:1.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 6-7Israel had not yet conquered the lands mentioned. However, God instructed Joshua to demonstrate his faith by assigning them to the tribes for the future, when Israel would capture them.Read the comment
