v.25            1.          It puts something in your hand that is unwanted.
                                 (And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it)

v.25            2.         It closes the door on right.
                                 (as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.)

v.26            3.         It protects the undeserving and the guilty.
                                 (And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the 
                                 children of Israel, that they slew them not.)

v.26            4.         It gives opportunity undeserved; it is grace by conscription.

v.27            5.         It leads to granting of a job but no ministry.
                                 (And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for
                                 the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, )

v.27            6.          It gives the gain of service but no increase for that service.
                                  (hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, …)

v.27            7.          It provides mixed service to God.
                                  (and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, in the place which he    
                                  should choose.)
