Commentaries on Joshua 3:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you - The Israelites were apt to be discouraged, and to faint at even the appearance of danger; it was necessary, therefore, that they should have the fullest assurance of the presence and assistance of God in the important enterprise on which they were now entering. They are to combat idolaters, who have nothing to trust in and help them but gods of wood, stone, and metal: whereas they are to have the…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10The living God - Compare the marginal reference. The gods of the pagan are “dead idols.” On the names of the seven nations, see Genesis 10:16, etc., note.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-13Verses 7-13 The waters of Jordan shall be cut off. This must be done in such a way as never was done, but in the dividing of the Red sea. That miracle is here repeated; God has the same power to finish the salvation of his people, as to begin it; the WORD of the Lord was as truly with Joshua as with Moses. God's appearances for his people ought to encourage faith and hope. God's work is perfect, he will keep his people. Jordan's flood cannot keep out…Read the comment

The coming events would show God's presence and his promise to them. In Canaan, the Israelites would live among neighbors who worshiped false gods. So Israel might feel tempted to worship their gods and goddesses. None of these false gods deserved worship. By contrast, the Lord is the living God, and he was present among the…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 9-139-13. Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord--It seems that the Israelites had no intimation how they were to cross the river till shortly before the event. The premonitory address of Joshua, taken in connection with the miraculous result exactly as he had described it, would tend to increase and confirm their faith in the God of their fathers as not a dull, senseless, inanimate thing like the idols of the nations, but a Being of life, power, and…Read the comment
