Commentary on Numbers 32:17

Theological / Devotional

Ready armed. Literally, “equipped for war, hastening.” This was a promise not to delay in any way the crossing of the Jordan, but to act as a forward unit or advance guard before the main host (see Deut. 3:18; Joshua 4:12).

The inhabitants. The Amorites and Moabites, who previously occupied the territory (ch. 21:26).
