Bible Commentary for Joshua 7:18

Wesley's Notes for Joshua 7:18


7:17 The family - Either, the tribe or people, as the word family sometimes signifies, or, the families, as ver. #14|, the singular number for the plural, the chief of each of their five families, #Numb 26:20|,21. Man by man - Not every individual person, as is evident from #Jos 7:18|, but every head of the several houses, or lesser families of that greater family of the Zarhites, of which see #1Chron 2:6|.

7:19 My son - So he calls him, to shew, that this severe inquisition and sentence did not proceed from any hatred to his person, which he loved as a father doth his son, and as a prince ought to do each of his subjects. The Lord God of Israel - As thou hast highly dishonoured him, now take the blame to thyself, and ascribe unto God the glory of his omniscience in knowing thy sin, of his justice in punishing it in thee, and others for thy sake; of his omnipotency, which was obstructed by thee; and of his kindness and faithfulness to his people, which was eclipsed by thy wickedness; all which will now be evident by thy sin confessed and punished.

7:20 Indeed I have sinned - He seems to make a sincere and ingenuous confession, and loads his sin with all just aggravations. Against the Lord - Against his express command, and glorious attributes. God of Israel - The true God, who hath chosen me and all Israel to be the people of his peculiar love and care.
