“And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.”
Early in the morning Joshua rose and all the people of Israel with him, and they set out from Shittim — the early rising signals urgency and obedience, the people's willingness to move forward at Joshua's command. The departure from Shittim marks the final exit from the wilderness wandering and the beginning of the actual conquest. The gathering together under Joshua's leadership fulfills the covenant promise of unity.
