Joshua 24:11 And ye went ouer Iorden, and came vnto Iericho, and the men of Iericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hiuites and the Iebusites, and I deliuered them into your hand.

The verse centers on "went", "ouer", "iorden", "came", "vnto", "iericho", and "fought". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "went" and "ouer", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 10's "But I would not heare Balaam therefore..." into verse 12's "And I sent hornets before you which...", so "went" and "ouer" belong inside that flow. In Joshua context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "went" and "ouer" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
