    VERSE 2 
     -    sharp knife. or, knife of flints.
         Before the use of iron was common, all the nations of the earth
         had their edge tools made of stones, flints, etc.  Our ancestors
         had their arrows and spearheads made of flint; which are
         frequently turned up by the plough.  And even when iron became
         more common, stone knives seem to have been preferred for making
         incisions in the human body.  The Egyptians used such to open the
         bodies for embalming; and the tribe of Alnajab in Ethiopia, who
         follow the Mosaic institution, perform the rite of circumcision,
         according to Ludolf, cultris lapidibus, with knives made of stone.

       * Eze 12:3,6 Nu 9:1-5
    
    
    VERSE 11 
     -    old corn
         The people would find abundance of old corn in the deserted
         granaries of the affrighted inhabitants: and the barley harvest
         being ripe, after offering the sheaf of first-fruits, they ate
         also new parched corn; and thus the manna being no longer
         necessary, ceased, after having been sent them regularly for
         almost forty years.  To Christians the manna for their souls shall
         never fail, till they arrive at the Canaan above, to feast on its
         rich and inexhaustible provisions.

       * Ex 3:5 Ac 7:32,33 2Pe 1:18
    -    And Joshua
         many persons have been puzzled to know what was intended by this
         extraordinary appearance of the angel to Joshua, because they
         supposed that the whole business ends with the chapter; whereas it
         is continued in the succeeding one, the first verse of which is a
         mere parenthesis, simply relating to the state of Jericho at the
         time when Joshua was favored with this encouraging vision; by
         which he was shown that their help came from God alone, and that
         it was not by human might or power, but by the Lord of hosts they
         were to obtain the victory.
