“And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.”
And they answered Joshua, saying, 'All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go' — the immediate and wholehearted affirmation from the officers demonstrates the legitimacy of Joshua's leadership succession and the unity of Israel in accepting his authority. The brevity and directness suggest a moment of unified covenantal commitment.
