“And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.”
And Joshua said, 'By this you shall know that the living God is among you and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites' — Joshua announces the divine promise in the form of a sign that will validate God's presence and power: the stopping of the Jordan will demonstrate that the living God is with Israel. The enumeration of seven nations represents the comprehensive scope of the conquest.
