1:13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this {h} land.
(h) Which belonged to Sihon the king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan.
1:13 Commanded you - His charge to you, and your promise to him. Rest - That is, a place of rest, as that word signifies.
1:10-15 Joshua says to the people, Ye shall pass over Jordan, and shall possess the land; because God had said so to him. We honour the truth of God, when we stagger not at the promise of God. The two tribes and a half were to go over Jordan with their brethren. When God, by his providence, has given us rest, we ought to consider what service we may do to our brethren.
