JOSHUA CHAPTER 3
Joshua comes with the Israelites to Jordan, Jos_3:1. The officers instruct the people and priests for the passage, Jos_3:2-6. God encourages Joshua, and he encourageth the people, giving therefore a sign the dividing the waters of Jordan till the ark and people should pass over, Jos_3:7-13. The people pass over, the priests standing all the time in the midst of Jordan, Jos_3:14-17.
In the morning; not after the return of the spies, as may seem at first view; but after the three days, as it follows, Jos_3:2.
Lodged there that night, that they might go over in the day time; partly that the miracle might be more evident and unquestionable; and partly to strike the greater terror into their enemies.
