Commentary

Commentary on Joshua 8:35

Theological / Devotional

All the congregation. The women, the children, and strangers, like Rahab and her family, were there. All, old and young, were to hear the words of the Lord. The enlightenment of the intellect is one of the first steps in Christian growth. One cannot live in harmony with God while in ignorance. Ignorance and true Christianity can never continue in the same individual. This is why God has laid great stress on Christian education. Nothing should be permitted to interfere with giving our children the education God enjoins. In spite of the hardship of the journey to Ebal, the children of ancient Israel were to accompany their parents.
