Joshua22:22
22 The LORD God of gods , the Lord God of gods, he knoweth , and Israel he shall know, if it be , in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD (save us not this day ).
That Iehovah, whom we no less than you acknowledge and adore as the God of gods, infinitely superiour to all that are called Gods. The multiplying of his Titles, and the repetition of these words, shew their zeal and earnestness in this matter, and their abhorrency of the very thoughts of it.
To him we appeal who knoweth all things, and the truth of what we are now saying.
Not onely our present words, but our future and constant course shall satisfie all Israel of our perseverance in the true Religion.
If this have been done by us with such design, or in such a manner.
Thou, O Lord, to whom we have appealed, and without whom we cannot be saved or preserved, save us not from any of our Enemies, nor from the Sword of our Brethren. It is a sudden Apostrophe to God, usual in such vehement speeches.
