| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "In that Joshua worships him,
he acknowledges him to be God: and in that he calls himself the
Lord's captain he declares himself to be Christ." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "This teaches us not to expect
supplies by miracles, when they may be had in a common way. The word
and ordinances of God are spiritual manna, with which God nourishes
his people in this wilderness. Though often forfeited, yet they are
continued while we are here; but when we come to the heavenly
Canaan, this manna will cease, for we shall no longer need it." |
|
| From Wesley's Notes.
| "The manna ceased - Which God
now withheld, to shew that Manna was not an ordinary production of
nature, but an extraordinary and special gift of God to supply their
necessity. And because God would not be prodigal of his favours, by
working miracles where ordinary means were sufficient." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "This abundance of food led to
the discontinuance of the manna; and the fact of its then ceasing,
viewed in connection with its seasonable appearance in the barren
wilderness, is a striking proof of its miraculous origin." |

| "The themes of this text from Joshua
are clearly recognizable in the Lectionary gospel reading set for March
21st, Jesus’ story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11b-32). Jesus’ story is
clearly shaped by the experience of the ‘lost’ children of Israel - the
lost and reclaimed children of the forgiving God." |
