On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The people of Israel were now entering into the holy land, and therefore must sanctify themselves. God was about to give them uncommon instances of his favour, which by meditation and prayer they must compose their minds to a very careful observation of, that they might give God the glory, and take to themselves the comfort, of these appearances.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And Joshua said - Or rather, had said, the day before their passage; for it follows, tomorrow. Sanctify yourselves - Both in soul and body, that you may be meet to receive such a favour, and with more reverence observe this great work, and fix it in your hearts.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
