Commentary on Joshua 24:3

Theological / Devotional

I took. The Syriac reads, “I led.” Throughout this verse, which relates Abraham’s experience, God is presented as the one who accomplished all the great acts in Abraham’s life. Abraham humbly submitted to the divine control. His life became an example of faith (Rom. 4:1–11; Gal. 3:6-9; cf. James 2:21-23). God was anxious to lead the descendants of Abraham into the same experience of faith.
