This lesson covers Joshua chapters 3-4, focusing on the miracle of crossing the Jordan River. The crossing serves two explicit purposes: establishing Joshua’s authority as Moses’ successor and demonstrating that God remains with the people. Unlike the splitting of the Red Sea where Moses led directly, this miracle involves intermediaries—the priests (Kohanim) carrying the Ark, and officers (shotrim) communicating instructions—creating a more complex leadership structure that characterizes Joshua’s era.
