SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:10
¶ Y el SEÑOR dijo a Josué: Levántate; ¿por qué te postras así sobre tu rostro?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 7:10
Verse 10. Wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?] It is plain there was nothing in Joshua's prayer or complaint that was offensive to God, for here there is no reprehension: Why liest thou thus? this is no time for complaint; something else is indispensably necessary to be done.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And the Lord said unto Joshua, get thee up , etc.] From the ground where he lay prostrate, with his face to it: this he said, not as refusing his supplication to him, but rather as encouraging and strengthening him; though chiefly he said this in order to instruct him, and that he might prepare for what he was to do: wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face ? in this manner, so distressed and dejected; or for this thing, as the Targum, for this defeat of the army; something else is to be done besides prayer and supplication.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-15 - God awakens Joshua to inquiry, by telling him that when this accurse thing was put away, all would be well. Times of danger and troubl should be times of reformation. We should look at home, into our ow hearts, into our own houses, and make diligent search to find out i there be not some accursed thing there, which God sees and abhors; some secret lust, some unlawful gain, some undue withholding from God of from others. We cannot prosper, until the accursed thing be destroye out of our hearts, and put out of our habitations and our families, an forsaken in our lives. When the sin of sinners finds them out, God is to be acknowledged. With a certain and unerring judgment, the righteou God does and will distinguish between the innocent and the guilty; s that though the righteous are of the same tribe, and family, an household with the wicked, yet they never shall be treated as the wicked.
