« Joshua Summary (KJV) »

Pray for God’s Wisdom and Understanding,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Historical Books, (12), from Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1st, 2nd samuel, 1st, 2nd Kings, 1st, 2nd Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther.

6. The Book of Joshua, Chapters 1-24.
This book serves as the connecting link between the Pentateuch and the later historical books; its name is derived from the principle character, Joshua. Chapters 1 to 23 describe the conquest of the land and its division among the tribes of Israel. In the final chapters (23-24) Joshua, somewhat after the fashion of Moses, exhorts the people in a series of farewell addresses " to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses" and solemnly challenges them to the renewal of their covenant commitment to God.

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
