Back to Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Back to Joshua'
Stretch.
Josh 8:7; Josh 8:26; Exod 8:5; Exod 17:11; Job 15:25
the spear.The word {keedon} is rendered {clypeum,} a shield or buckler, by the Vulgate but the LXX. translate it [gaison,] which Suidas says, signifies a kind of weapon, [hoion doratos,] like a spear.
It may denote a short spear, javelin, or lance; for it is evident that it signifies neither the larger spear nor the shield, because it is distinguished from both.
1Sam 17:6; 1Sam 17:41; 1Sam 17:45; Job 39:23
Joshua may have had a flag or ensign at the end of the spear, which might be seen at a considerable distance when extended, which was the sign agreed upon by him and the ambush.
