So the LORD was with Joshua
This phrase underscores the divine presence and favor that Joshua enjoyed. The Hebrew word for "LORD" here is "YHWH," the sacred name of God, emphasizing His covenantal faithfulness. The phrase "was with" indicates a continuous, abiding presence, suggesting that Joshua's success was not due to his own strength or wisdom but because of God's active involvement in his leadership. This echoes the promise given to Joshua in Joshua 1:5, where God assures him, "As I was with Moses, so I will be with you." Theologically, this highlights the importance of divine accompaniment in fulfilling God's purposes, a theme prevalent throughout the Old Testament.

and his fame spread
The word "fame" in Hebrew is "shema," which can also mean "report" or "reputation." This suggests that Joshua's renown was not merely about his military conquests but also about the testimony of God's power and faithfulness through him. The spreading of his fame indicates that the surrounding nations were becoming aware of the God of Israel, who was actively working through Joshua. This serves as a fulfillment of God's promise to make Israel a nation that would be a witness to the world, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:10, where it is said, "Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD."

throughout the land
The phrase "throughout the land" signifies the extent and reach of Joshua's reputation. The "land" here refers to Canaan, the Promised Land, which was inhabited by various nations and peoples. The spread of Joshua's fame throughout this region indicates the comprehensive nature of God's work through him, as well as the fulfillment of the promise that Israel would inherit the land. Historically, this would have served as a deterrent to potential adversaries and a testament to the power of the God of Israel. It also foreshadows the eventual establishment of Israel as a dominant force in the region under Joshua's leadership, as God had promised to the patriarchs.
