22 tell them, 'Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.'
22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
22 then you shall let your children know, 'Israel passed over this Jordan on dry ground.'
22 tell your children this: 'Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry ground.'
22 then you shall let your children know, saying, 'Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land';
22 Then you can tell them, 'This is where the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry ground.'
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joshua 4:22
Commentary on Joshua 4:20-24
(Read Joshua 4:20-24)
It is the duty of parents to tell their children betimes of the words and works of God, that they may be trained up in the way they should go. In all the instruction parents give their children, they should teach them to fear God. Serious godliness is the best learning. Are we not called, as much as the Israelites, to praise the loving-kindness of our God? Shall we not raise a pillar to our God, who has brought us through dangers and distresses in so wonderful a way? For hitherto the Lord hath helped us, as much as he did his saints of old. How great the stupidity and ingratitude of men, who perceive not His hand, and will not acknowledge his goodness, in their frequent deliverances!
