Lev Yitzchak: Also in Shemos (34:19), Yonasan translated so, and Rashi explained that it is distinguished [from the other nations, through Hashem's miracles]. However, in Devarim (30:11) he translated "Lo Nifleis Hi" to mean covered.

5)

How did Yehoshua know about the miracles that will happen? Hashem did not tell him!

1.

Radak: Hashem told him three days ago to prepare, for they will cross the Yarden. It was full! Yehoshua understood that it must be via miracles.

2.

Malbim: Normally, Leviyim carried the Aron. Now Kohanim would carry it. Yehoshua understood that this is due to miracles that will occur. Kohanim carried it three times (refer to 3:3:2:2 and the note there), and each time, miracles occurred. And Hashem commanded Yisrael to sanctify themselves, so the miracle will be in their merit.
