"On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life." — Joshua 4:14 (ASV)
On that day the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of Israel ,
&c.] Made him great and honourable in their esteem, by doing what he foretold would be done, dividing the waters of Jordan, drying up the river to make a passage for them through it, as on dry land:
and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life ;
had a reverend esteem of him, and affection for him, and yielded obedience to him all his days; see (Exodus 14:31) .
