The Israelites confirm their commitment to follow The LORD, and Joshua gives a final message.

The Israelites all finally settle in the land God had promised them. Every tribe has it’s inheritance, every promise has been fulfilled, and finally, they have rest.

Land allotments are specified for Joseph’s and Benjamin’s descendants, then the rest of the land is divided.

After conquering a good portion of the Promised Land, a list is made of the kings who had been defeated and how the land was to be allotted to each tribe, with specific boundaries defined. Special requests were made from Caleb and his daughter, with Caleb receiving the specific land God had promised to him and driving out the descendants of Anak.

God fulfills His promise to the Israelites and clearly and obviously helps them to wipe out all the people groups that were in the land which God had promised to give to His chosen people.

The new generation of Israelites are circumcised, the miraculous fall of Jericho, the sin of Achan and it’s effect on the whole nation of Israel, and the destruction of Ai.

Joshua is established as the new leader of the Israelites, and his first act in this role demonstrates that God is clearly with them. The testimony of Rahab and the crossing of the Jordan surely helped the Israelites to be strong and courageous, knowing that God would be with them wherever they go!

Moses teaches the Israelites a song before they enter the Promised Land and before he dies. The blessing of God’s protection over His people is great.

Life and prosperity or death and destruction, Joshua is appointed to succeed Moses, Moses writes down the Law then predicts the Israelites rebellion and states that he will teach them a song to testify against them.

Blessings for obedience, curses for disobedience.
