SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:14
Vuestras mujeres y vuestros niños y vuestras bestias, quedarán en la tierra que Moisés os ha dado de este lado del Jordán; mas vosotros, todos los valientes de proeza, pasaréis armados delante de vuestros hermanos, y les ayudaréis;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 1:14
Verse 14. Your wives, your little ones] And with these it appears, from Num. xxxii. 17, were left behind 70, 580 effective men to guard them and their property; only 40, 000 having passed over Jordan to assist the nine tribes and half to conquer the land. See chap. iv. 13. Armed] µymj chamushim, by fives; in several lines, five in front, probably the usual method of marching; but it seems to signify arrayed, equipped, accoutred, well-armed, and ready for battle. See the note on Exod. xiii. 18.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan , etc.] This was what they themselves proposed, agreed unto, and confirmed, ( Numbers 32:16,17,26,27); but ye shall pass over before your brethren armed ; bearing arms, to fight for them; for none but such that were fit to bear arms were obliged to go; and these were to go “harnessed” f14 , as some render the word, or in a military order, in rank and file, by fives, five in a row; not at the front of the army, for the standard of Judah went first, but along with them; for “before them” signifies no other than in the presence of them, and in company with them: all the mighty men of valour, and help them ; to obtain a conquest over the Canaanites; all, according to the order of Moses, and by their agreement, were to go, all that were able to bear arms; but Joshua did not take them all, only a select company of strong and valiant for, out of an hundred thirty thousand, but forty thousand went with him, ( Joshua 4:13).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-15 - Joshua says to the people, Ye shall pass over Jordan, and shall posses the land; because God had said so to him. We honour the truth of God when we stagger not at the promise of God. The two tribes and a hal were to go over Jordan with their brethren. When God, by his providence, has given us rest, we ought to consider what service we ma do to our brethren.
