The book of Joshua ends with the burial of three leaders. First ,we’ll consider the life and death of Joshua. Remember that Joshua experienced the exodus, was one of the first to see the Promised Land as a spy, was one of only two men who trusted the Lord to defeat the inhabitants therein, and was the right-hand man of Moses. Furthermore, Joshua lived to lead Israel in conquering that land after Moses had died. Today, Joshua leads Israel in a covenant renewal before he dies and they bury him in his own land. Additionally, the bones of Joseph (who had died in Egypt) are finally buried. Lastly, Eleazar, the successor to Aaron in the priesthood died as well. It marks the end of an era and a shift in the tide of Israel’s history. Later, we’ll read from one of the longer psalms: Psalm 78.

Joshua 24 - 1:00 . 

Psalm 78 - 8:40 .
