Joshua said, Hereby you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
"Hereby ye shall know ..."  (Joshua 3:10).  This is rendered, "By this ..." by some scholars.  "The words anticipate what will not be explained until  Joshua 3:13.  The account moves slowly.  These preliminaries serve to create a feeling of suspense."[21]
