Commentary on Joshua 8:13

Theological / Devotional

The valley. From -emeq, a low, wide tract of land. It seemed to be distinguished from the “valley” of verse 11, which is from the Hebrew gai’, “ravine.” Inspiration does not tell us the purpose of his visit to the valley. We may conjecture that with the battle impending, Joshua spent the night in prayer to make sure nothing would intercept the blessing of God and prevent victory. Compare 1 Samuel 17:3.
