Joshua conquered them
The phrase "Joshua conquered them" signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to Israel regarding the possession of the Promised Land. The Hebrew root for "conquered" is "לָכַד" (lakad), which means to capture or seize. This reflects the divine mandate given to Joshua to lead the Israelites in taking possession of the land. Historically, this conquest is a testament to God's faithfulness and the obedience of Joshua as a leader who trusted in God's promises.

from Kadesh-barnea
"Kadesh-barnea" is a significant location in the biblical narrative, often associated with the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. It served as a key encampment and a launching point for the exploration of Canaan. The mention of Kadesh-barnea here marks the southern boundary of the conquered territory. Archaeologically, Kadesh-barnea is identified with the modern site of Ein el-Qudeirat, providing a tangible connection to the biblical account.

to Gaza
"Gaza" was a major Philistine city located on the southwestern coast of Canaan. Its mention indicates the western extent of Joshua's conquests. Gaza's strategic location made it a significant military and trade center. The inclusion of Gaza in the conquered territories underscores the comprehensive nature of Israel's victories under Joshua's leadership.

and from the whole region of Goshen
The "whole region of Goshen" here is distinct from the Goshen in Egypt. This Goshen is believed to be a fertile area in southern Canaan. The phrase emphasizes the breadth of the conquest, highlighting the vastness of the land that came under Israelite control. This reflects God's provision and the abundance of the land promised to the descendants of Abraham.

as far as Gibeon
"Gibeon" was a significant city in the central hill country of Canaan. The Gibeonites had previously made a treaty with Israel, as recorded earlier in Joshua. The mention of Gibeon as the northern boundary of the conquest illustrates the strategic and expansive nature of the campaign. Gibeon's inclusion signifies the unity and cooperation between the Israelites and the Gibeonites, furthering God's plan for the establishment of Israel in the land.

(41) From Kadesh-barnea (on the south-east) even unto Gaza (on the west, now Ghazzeh in Philistia), and all the country of Goshen (from the south to Gibeon in a northerly direction).

And all the country of Goshen.--This expression creates some difficulty. Goshen has been thought to be the town of that name mentioned in Joshua 15:51; but it is inconceivable that a single place of no importance in the mountains of Judah should give the name to an extensive district, which is manifestly intended here. If we knew the exact northern boundary of the land of Goshen assigned for a distinct residence to Joseph's brethren in Egypt, it might help to clear up the meaning of this passage. That Goshen, at its Egyptian end, bordered upon the Delta is clear. But how far did Goshen extend towards the north? In 1Chronicles 7:21-22, we find that Ephraim's children in his lifetime made an incursion into Canaan as far as Gath. But this was during the time that Israel dwelt in the land of Goshen. Did they suppose that they were in the land of Goshen when they plundered the men of Gath? If Goshen (frontier) could be the general name for the border-land between Egypt and Palestine, we can understand that the borders might vary with the power of the Egyptian monarchy for the time being. The country of Goshen, unto Gibeon, seems to be described from south to north; Gibeon being intended as the northern boundary.
