Joshua 3:7
Joshua 3:7 – God Honours Joshua at the Jordan This passage shows how God chooses to honour Joshua as the new leader of Israel, just as He honoured Moses. The miracle at the Jordan River will prove to everyone that Joshua is God’s chosen governor for Israel. In return, Joshua honours God by calling the people to listen and obey. This moment is important because it shows that when people honour God, He will honour them. The division of the Jordan River is both a sign of Joshua’s leadership and a reminder that God is still in control, just as He was at the Red Sea.v. 7-8: God speaks to Joshua in a special way, just as He spoke to Moses from the mercy seat ( a). This makes Joshua respected among the people and shows that God is with him. God wants everyone to see that Joshua is truly their leader, just like He showed the people that Moses was His servant at the Red Sea (; b). God tells Joshua to command the priests to stand at the edge of the Jordan River with the ark. The miracle will happen when they do this, proving that God is the one dividing the water ( c).
