The Pulpit Commentary on Joshua 21:45

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Ought of any good thing. Literally, a word from all the good word. This Keil regards as the "sum of all the gracious promises that God had made." But he should have added that ?寧?寧淚, beside signifying, as it does, "word," is also the word for "thing" in Hebrew (see, for instance, ; ), and innumerable other passages, as well as the use of ?岺? ?寧?寧淚 for "nothing." The translation "thing" makes the best sense, and is more agreeable to the Hebrew idiom. All came to pass. The Hebrew is singular, the whole came, the word translated "came to pass "in our version being a different one from that usually so translated.
