Albert Barnes Commentary Joshua 1:14

"Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but ye shall pass over before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them;" — Joshua 1:14 (ASV)

Armed - Rather, “arrayed” (see Exodus 13:18 note).

On this side Jordan - Compare Deuteronomy 1:1, note.
