This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jos_3:15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
Ver. 15. For Jordan overfloweth his banks.] Ordinarily every year; either ex fiuminis natura, {a} by the nature of this river, {see 1Ch_12:15} as it is also of the Nile, {b} or else by the melting of the snow from the mountains: the like whereunto befalleth Tigris and Euphrates.
At the time of harvest.] Barley harvest. Compare Lev_23:10. So that the Israelites were brought into the land at the best time. And "herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth." {Joh_4:37}
{a} Tremell.
{b} Perinde at Nilus messis tempore alveos excedens et exundans maltum terrae irrigat . - Aristeas.
