Joshua
The Book of Joshua picks up immediately after Moses's death, detailing the story of Joshua, the new leader God appoints to succeed Moses. This book focuses on the successful military campaigns and the subsequent division of the Promised Land (Canaan) among the twelve tribes of Israel. It emphasizes the importance of obedience to God as the key to success in conquest, famously shown by the miraculous fall of the city of Jericho. Despite some setbacks caused by disobedience, Joshua leads the Israelites to victory, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham. The book concludes with Joshua’s final speeches, urging the people to choose to serve the Lord faithfully.
