Comentário sobre Josué 24:11
וַתַּעַבְר֣וּ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן֮ וַתָּבֹ֣אוּ אֶל־יְרִיחוֹ֒ וַיִּלָּחֲמ֣וּ בָכֶ֣ם בַּעֲלֵֽי־יְ֠רִיחוֹ הָֽאֱמֹרִ֨י וְהַפְּרִזִּ֜י וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֗י וְהַֽחִתִּי֙ וְהַגִּרְגָּשִׁ֔י הַֽחִוִּ֖י וְהַיְבוּסִ֑י וָאֶתֵּ֥ן אוֹתָ֖ם בְּיֶדְכֶֽם׃
E quando vós, passando o Jordão, viestes a Jericó, pelejaram contra vós os homens de Jericó, e os amorreus, os perizeus, os cananeus, os heteus, os girgaseus, os heveus e os jebuseus; porém os entreguei na vossa mao.
Rashi on Joshua
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.
