VERSE 4
- trumpets of rams'
The word shopheroth hyyovelim, should rather be rendered jubilee
i.e., such as were used on the jubilee, which were probably made
of horn or silver: for the entrance of the Israelites into
Canaan was indeed a jubilee to them (See Note on Le 25.11):
instead of the dreadful trumpet of war, they were ordered to sound
the trumpet of joy, as already conquerors.
* Le 25:9 Nu 10:1-10 Jud 7:7,8,15-22 2Ch 13:12; 20:17,19,21 Isa 27:12

- and the wall
The words wenaphelah chomath hair tachteyha, are literally, `and
the wall of the city shall fall down {under itself};' which
appears simply to mean, that the wall shall fall down from its
very foundation; which was probably the case in every part, though
large breaches in different places might have been amply
sufficient first to admit the armed men, after whom the host might
enter to destroy the city. There is no ground for the supposition
that the walls sunk into the earth.

VERSE 21
- And they
The Canaanites were ripe for destruction; and God was pleased, in-
stead of destroying them by a pestilence, a famine, or an
earthquake, to employ the Israelites as the executioners of his
vengeance. Had an angel been commissioned to slay them, who
would have charged him with iniquity or cruelty? In all public
calamities infants are involved; and tens of thousands of infants
die in great agony every year. Now, either God is not the agent
in these calamities, (which opinion, though often implied in men's
reasonings on these subjects, is not far from atheism;) or they
must consist with the most perfect justice and goodness.
