Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
6:4-5 The Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt and had preserved them and blessed them throughout their journey to the Promised Land. God encouraged and warned Israel always to remember what he had done for them from Sinai onward (Exod 3:15; Deut 5:15; Pss 77:11; 111:4; see also Pss 78, 136). • Balak . . . Balaam: (see Num 22–24). • Acacia Grove, located on the east of the Jordan River, was Israel’s base camp before entering the Promised Land (see Num 25:1; Josh 2:1; 3:1). The trip from there to Gilgal (west of the Jordan River) bears witness to God’s covenant faithfulness. God’s saving acts brought the Israelites into the Promised Land.
