Joshua 11:6

OLD TESTAMENTNEW TESTAMENT

And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for tomorrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: you shall hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

Verse 5 Read Chapter 11 Verse 7

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849

Hamstring their horses God so ordained, that his people might not trust in chariots and horses, but in him. (Challoner) He mentions the very time, when the victory will be obtained, to inspire the Israelites with greater confidence. Josue had proceeded from Galgal to Meron, about 90 miles; or if he had to go to the Semonite lake, 120 miles. Josephus says he had marched five days.
