Commentary on Joshua 23:5

Theological / Devotional

Expel them. Joshua here uses the same word for “expel” as is found in Deut. 6:19 and 9:4, a somewhat unusual word used only 11 times in the OT. It may indicate that Joshua was quoting from Deuteronomy, and that the latter existed in written form in Joshua’s day.
