Before his death, Moses viewed the Promised Land from Mount Nebo (Deuteronomy 34:1-4), passing leadership to Joshua, who would lead the Israelites across the Jordan and into Canaan. The journey from Egypt to Canaan was not just a physical journey but a profound spiritual odyssey.

Moses was 120 years old, "his eye was not dim or his natural force abated" (Deuteronomy 34:7), and he was profoundly loved by all the people. He had been their deliverer, their general, their lawgiver, their advocate before God, their prophet, their guide, their inspiration, their judge, and their pastor for over 40 years. He was also a song writer...
And the mantle of leadership passed to Joshua, son of Nun, leader of Israel's military forces (Exodus 17:8) and Moses' personal assistant (Exodus 33:11; Joshua 1:1). The grief passes, and the excitement starts to build: the Lord is about to fulfill his centuries-old promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, a homeland in which to serve God without fear...
The story of the conquest is told in the book of Joshua. It can be summed up like this. Jericho falls in chapter 6. Then after a brief setback due to the disobedience of Achan, in chapter 7, Ai is captured. Then with Gilgal as the base, Joshua subdues all the southern part of Canaan in Joshua 9–10, and all the northern part in Joshua 11. In chapter...
When the book of Judges opens, we sense immediately a different atmosphere, and we brace ourselves for the worst. Joshua dies, and Judges 2:10tells us ominously, "And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work which he had done for Israel.

Now let's look back over this great event of redemptive history, the conquest of Canaan, and try to answer some troubling questions that I hope will lead us deeper into God's purposes and lessons for us. The first question is this: How can this unprovoked aggression of a foreign power against the Canaanites be justified, even to the point where it ...
The second question to be raised is whether the conquest of Canaan depended on Israel's obedience or not. This question is closely related to the question as to whether the Abrahamic covenant was conditional, since that covenant included the promise of the land, and the conquest is described (in Deuteronomy 9:5) as a fulfillment of that covenant. O...
A final question to ask about Israel's conquest of Canaan is how it may point to the future. Here we are not left to ourselves, because the writer to the Hebrews in the New Testament has already seen some very profound things. Without reading all of Hebrews 4, let me try to do for you what he does for his readers. First of all, he notices in Joshua...

Jan 4, 2022 · On the seventh day, the walls fell down and Israel stormed the city, putting to death all the inhabitants (except Rahab and her family. See Joshua 2). The Israelites were to take no spoils, as everything was to be dedicated to God (Joshua 6). The next target was the city of Ai.
This event happens 300 years after Israel defeats King Sihon at a battle at Heshbon Falls in 1406 BC, as recorded in Numbers 21:23-31, Deut. 1:4, and 2:30-35 (See page 248). The previous periods of oppression and deliverance back to the death of Joshua can be calculated from this point.
