Ecclesiasticus Chapter 46
The praise of Josue, of Caleb, and of Samuel.
46:1. Valiant in war was Jesus the son of Nave, who was successor of
Moses among the prophets, who was great according to his name,
Jesus the son of Nave... So Josue is named in the Greek Bibles. For
Josue and Jesus signify the same thing, viz., a saviour.
46:2. Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the
enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for
Israel.
46:3. How great glory did he gain when he lifted up his hands, and
stretched out swords against the cities?
46:4. Who before him hath so resisted? for the Lord himself brought the
enemies.
46:5. Was not the sun stopped in his anger, and one day made as two?
46:6. He called upon the most high Sovereign when the enemies assaulted
him on every side, and the great and holy God heard him by hailstones of
exceeding great force.
46:7. He made a violent assault against the nation of his enemies, and
in the descent he destroyed the adversaries.
And in the descent... Of Beth-horon (Jos. 10.).
46:8. That the nations might know his power, that it is not easy to
fight against God. And he followed the mighty one:
46:9. And in the days of Moses he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the
son of Jephone, in standing against the enemy, and withholding the
people from sins, and appeasing the wicked murmuring.
46:10. And they two being appointed, were delivered out of the danger
from among the number of six hundred thousand men on foot, to bring them
into their inheritance, into the land that floweth with milk and honey.
46:11. And the Lord gave strength also to Caleb, and his strength
continued even to his old age, so that he went up to the high places of
the land, and his seed obtained it for an inheritance:
46:12. That all the children of Israel might see, that it is good to
obey the holy God.
