Klal Yisrael starts preparing to cross the Yarden.

The higher-ranking officers of Klal Yisrael instruct the Kohanim to prepare the Aron HaKodesh for the crossing of the Yarden.

Klal Yisrael is warned not to come too close to the Aron HaKodesh.

Hashem tells Yehoshua at the crossing of the Yarden that all of Klal Yisrael will know that I am with you.

Yehoshua announces to Klal Yisrael that through this forthcoming miracle they will surely know that Hashem is with them and that He will help them in the conquest of Eretz Yisrael.

The Kohanim, led by the Aron HaKodesh, enter the Yarden.

A miracle happens and the Yarden splits. Klal Yisrael start to pass through the Yarden to the other side.

*Perek Points:*

● Yehoshua sends two spies, Kalev and Pinchas, to determine the best way to conquer Yericho.

● The two spies go Rachav’s house.

● Rachav hides Kalev and Pinchas under two hay stacks on the roof and diverts the soldiers who had come looking for the Jewish spies to the wrong direction.

● After stating that she had heard about the miracles that Hashem had done for Klal Yisrael and that she acknowledges the power of Hashem, Rachav asks that her family be saved from the oncoming attack.

● The spies promise Rachav that as long as she ties a scarlet string around her home, the lives of anyone in the home will be spared.

● The spies return and report good news about being able to conquer Yericho.

● Yehoshua assumes the leadership of Klal Yisrael after Moshe’s death.

● Hashem promises Yehoshua that just as He was with Moshe, so too He will be with Yehoshua.

● “If you strengthen yourself in Torah study, you will have nothing to fear.”

● Hashem relates to Yehoshua that He will be leading him into Eretz Yisrael, and He starts to delineate the borders. He commands Yehoshua to be strong, have courage, and no fear.

● Yehoshua starts preparing Klal Yisrael to cross the Yardein and enter into Eretz Yisrael.

● Yehoshua reminds Reuven, Gad, and half of Menashe that they will have to keep their word to Moshe by going to battle before assuming residence on the other side of the Yardein.

● Klal Yisrael pledge loyalty to Yehoshua just as they had to Moshe.
