Ts :t of the Lesson,. Josh, vii, 6-15. I
Memory Verse, 13 Golden Text,
Numbers xxxii, 23 —Commentary by
Rev. D. M. Stearns.
'
Although our lesson is in chapter vii. '
we Jit"** asked to read t» chapter xi.
eiKliii.ii wiili the words. "So Joshua j
tool; the whole laud, according to all
that the J„ord staid unto .Muses * * ♦ !
iu«l the land vested from war (xl. 23i. I
rite section tolls of the conquering and ;
:lestniction of many cities after the j
taking of Jericho, but begins with the j
defeat at Ai and the reason of it.
Defeat seems-strange after the word
of the Lord to Joshua. "There shall not
any man be able to stand before thee
all the days of thy life" (1-5). but the
fulfillment of the Lord's promises
sometimes depends upon conditions to
be fulfilled on our part, as when
lie said. "If ye abide in Me and My
words abide in you ye shall ask what
ye will and it shall be done unto you.''
(John xv. 7).
We have seen that Israel had been
forbidden to appropriate anything of
the goods of Jericho, and unknown to
Joshua, there had been transgression
We do not wonder that he In his igno
rance of this rent his clothes and fell
i pon his face before the ark and that
l a ami the elders of Israel put dust
i non- their heads and that he said:
• () Lord, whnt'shall I say when Israel
irneth their backs before their ene- ;
i lies? Wh.it wilt Thou do unto Thy
:eat name?" (Verses (>. 8.)
We do well to consider whether our
name or Elis name is most in our es
timation. Joshua was Jealous for the
honor of Jehovah. The Lord explain
ed the cause of the defeat by the sad
nui-nimreuieiit that Israel had sinned
''.ill stolen and dissembled, and lie
s iid that He would not be with them
any more until the sin was confessed
and put away (verses 10-12). AI- !
though only one man Irad sinned, note I
that the Lord said that the nation was |
guilty. "Israel hath sinned: they have j
transgressed: they have taken" (verse
11). Consider how the welfare of a
family or a ehurch may be affected by
the wrongdoing of one person.
On the morrow Joshua"began to
search for the guilty one. and. proba
bly by lot. the guilt was. found to be
in the tribe of Judah.- Then the fami
ly was found and then the household
and finally the individual, and- Achan
began to realize that his sin had found
him out (xiii. IS. ami Golden Text).
Joshua then urged Achan to make
confession, which he did. and. the
stolen tilings being found in his tent,
he and all his were stoned and burned
nd the sin put away (xtx, 'Jtii.
The valley of Achor is therefore
spoken of as a door of hope tHos. ii.
!"•!. for where there are confession and
putiing away, of sin there will always
lie blessing. Achan's confession. "1
-•aw. I coveted. 1 took" (verse 21).
tak s us back to Eden, where Eve
-;iw an i desired and took the forbid
den fruit.
Our eyes affect our hearts for good
>r evil (Sam. iii. .11). ami we are |u\>»e
to follow our inclinations: therefore
we need to pray. "Turn away miue
••yes from ■ beholdrng vanity" (Ps
xix. 37). When wo heboid the beauty
of the I.ord and follow Him fully, as
Caleb and Joshua did and as Simon
i'ett** was exhorted to do. all will be
well (l\s. xxvii. 4; Num. xxxii, 12;
John xxi. 22).
There was a secondary cause of Is
r.iel's defeat at Ai. and that was un
derestimating the enemy and thinking
that 2.x:o or 3.0U!) men were sufficient
io conquer such a city (Verses 2-si.
When the sin of Achan was put awa.\
ami the Lord encouraged Joshua to go
up and take Ai.saying. "Fear not: nei
Mter be thou dismayed." He also said.
Take all the people of war with
thee" ichapter viii, 1. 2>.
This time liie eity was taken and de
stroyed. as fully recorded in viii. 3-2P
Tien Joshua .offered burnt offering
and peace offerings unto the Lord
wrote a copy of the Law of Moses ami
read every word before aii the congre
gation «viii. :;o ; :{ro.
Chapter :» tells of Joshua forgetting
his instructions from the other cap
tain to louse liis shoe from off his foot
(v. I.'Moi. for he made a league with
i ! ie lying (Jibeonites without consult
ing his captain: he asked not counsel
at the mouth of the Lord (ix, 14). We
cannot expect that He will direct us if
we fail to acknowledge Him (I'rov.
lii, (>i. .
In chapter x. 7-43. we learn that Gil
fral continued to be Joshua's headquar
ters. from which he set forth and to
which he returned. Gibeon was a great
city, and because of her submission to
Israel five kings made war with her
(x. 1-;").
The (Jibeonites appealed to Joshua,
and he took a)l the people of war and
all the mighty men of valor and went
to their relief, for the Lord had said to
him: "Fear them not * * * Not a
man of them shall stand before thee'"
(x. 0-S). After an all night march the
men of Israel came suddenly upon the
armies of the five kings and slew them
with a great slaughter, and the Lord
cast down great stones from heaven
upon them and slew more with hall
stones than Israel slew with the
sword (x. 9-11).
In some miraculous way the daylight
was prolonged till the battle was fully
won. for the Lord fought for Israel (x.
J4-42). As the Lord commanded Moses
and Moses Joshua, so did Joshua and
left nothing undone (xi. 13. 14).
