Book 6 of 39 in the Old Testament — Conquest of the Promised Land.
Joshua picks up where Deuteronomy ends, following Moses' successor as he leads Israel across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Jericho's walls fall, a covenant-breaking defeat at Ai is overturned, and a series of campaigns bring much of Canaan under Israelite control. The book's second half turns to dividing the conquered land among the twelve tribes. Joshua closes with a covenant renewal ceremony and his challenge to Israel to ‘choose this day whom you will serve.’
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”King James Version
God commands Joshua to be strong and courageous, promising his presence wherever he goes.
“So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.”King James Version
The walls of Jericho collapse after Israel marches around the city as instructed.
“There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.”King James Version
Every one of God's good promises to Israel was fulfilled.
“And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.”King James Version
Joshua affirms that not one of God's promises has failed.
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”King James Version
Joshua's challenge: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
