What Does Joshua 24:11 Mean?
The story arrives at the land itself. Israel crossed the Jordan, came to Jericho, and faced the many peoples of Canaan listed one after another. Against them all, God repeats his refrain: I delivered them into your hand.
The long list of nations underscores how impossible the task was by human reckoning, and how complete God's help proved to be. He did not deliver against one foe but against many. Whatever array of obstacles stands before God's purposes, he is able to give the victory he has promised.
