Or, dès que tous les rois des Amoréens qui étaient au delà du Jourdain, vers l'Occident, et tous les rois des Cananéens qui étaient près de la mer, apprirent que l'Éternel avait mis à sec les eaux du Jourdain devant les enfants d'Israël jusqu'à ce qu'ils fussent passés, leur cœur se fondit, et il n'y eut plus de courage en eux devant les enfants d'Israël.
Et il arriva que, lorsque tous les rois des Amoréens qui étaient en deçà du Jourdain vers l'occident, et tous les rois des Cananéens qui étaient près de la mer, entendirent comment l'Éternel avait mis à sec les eaux du Jourdain devant les fils d'Israël jusqu'à ce que nous fussions passés, leur coeur se fondit, et il n'y eut plus de courage en eux, à cause des fils d'Israël.
Or il arriva qu'aussitôt que tous les Rois des Amorrhéens qui [étaient] au deçà du Jourdain vers l'Occident, et tous les Rois des Cananéens qui étaient près de la mer, apprirent que l'Eternel avait fait tarir les eaux du Jourdain devant les enfants d'Israël, jusqu'à ce qu'ils fussent passés, leur cœur se fondit, et il n'y eut plus de courage en eux à cause des enfants d'Israël.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which [were] on the side of Jordan westward,.... On the side the Israelites were now on; and this is observed, to distinguish them from the other kings of the Amorites beyond Jordan, on the eastern side, who were already conquered by the Israelites, Sihon and Og, who seem to be a colony that went over from the Amorites in Canaan, and possessed themselves of that part of the land of Moab. These seem to be put for several others of the nations of the land not mentioned, who doubtless were as much dispirited as they; and they are the rather mentioned, because they were a principal nation, and a very powerful and warlike one, see Amos 2:9.
and all the kings of the Canaanites which [were] by the sea; the Mediterranean sea; the Septuagint version calls them the kings of Phoenicia; and that which was strictly and property so lay on that coast, in which were the cities of Tyre and Sidon, though the whole land of Canaan was sometimes so called; unless this is to be understood, either of the dead sea, or of the sea of Galilee; of which Canaanites, see Numbers 13:29; however, be they the one or the other, or both, as most likely, when they
heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted,
neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel; they lost all their courage, and never recovered it any more; concluding it was all over with them, since such wonderful things were done for them by the Lord: the word "we" shows that the writer of this history was one that passed over Jordan, and who can be supposed but Joshua himself? this circumstance, I think, strongly corroborates that opinion.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The Amorites were the principal of those nations which occupied the hill country of Judaea (Genesis 10:16 note); the Canaanites of those that dwelt on the coast and low lands. These words are therefore equivalent to âall the kings of the highlanders, and all the kings of the lowlanders:â i. e. the kings of all the tribes of the country.
Until we were passed over - The use of the first person has been noted here, and in Joshua 5:6 (compare Acts 16:10), as suggesting the hand of one who himself shared in what he describes. But the text as read (though not written) by the Jewish authorities here, has the third person; as have some manuscripts, Septuagint, Vulgate, etc.: and a change of person like this in Hebrew, even if the text stand, does not of itself warrant the inference. (Compare Psalms 66:6.)
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER V
The effect produced on the minds of the Canaanites by the late
miracle, 1.
Joshua is commanded to circumcise the Israelites, 2.
He obeys, 3.
Who they were that were circumcised, and why it was now done,
4-7.
They abide in the camp till they are whole, 8.
The place is called Gilgal, and why, 9.
They keep the passover in the same place, 10.
They eat unleavened cakes and parched corn, on the morrow after
the passover, 11.
The manna ceases, 12.
The captain of the Lord's host appears to Joshua, 13-15.
NOTES ON CHAP. V
Verse Joshua 5:1. The Amorites which were on the side of Jordan westward — It has already been remarked that the term Amorite is applied sometimes to signify all the nations or tribes of Canaan. It appears from this verse that there were people thus denominated that dwelt on both sides of the Jordan. Those on the east side had already been destroyed in the war which the Israelites had with Sihon and Og; with those on the west side Joshua had not yet waged war. It is possible however that the Amorites of whom we read in this verse, were the remains of those who dwelt on the east side of the Jordan, and who had taken refuge here on the defeat of Og and Sihon.
