Tafsiran Yosua 24:11: Rashi

וַתַּעַבְר֣וּ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן֮ וַתָּבֹ֣אוּ אֶל־יְרִיחוֹ֒ וַיִּלָּחֲמ֣וּ בָכֶ֣ם בַּעֲלֵֽי־יְ֠רִיחוֹ הָֽאֱמֹרִ֨י וְהַפְּרִזִּ֜י וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֗י וְהַֽחִתִּי֙ וְהַגִּרְגָּשִׁ֔י הַֽחִוִּ֖י וְהַיְבוּסִ֑י וָאֶתֵּ֥ן אוֹתָ֖ם בְּיֶדְכֶֽם׃

Kemudian kamu menyeberangi Yordan dan sampai di Yerikho. Orang-orang Yerikho berperang melawan kamu, yaitu orang Amori, orang Feris, orang Kanaan, orang Het, orang Girgasi, orang Hewi, dan orang Yebus, tetapi Aku menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tanganmu.

Rashi

The people of Yericho went to war against you. As did the Emorites, the Perezites etc.5Why were these nations involved in the battle of Yericho? All these seven nations are mentioned here because Yericho is on the border, and was the bolt and lock of Eretz Yisroel. Therefore, all these seven nations were gathered there, represented by their elite soldiers.
