Opis

A literary commentary on the Book of Joshua. The job of succeeding the greatest law given in history would not be a coveted one. Moses was dead. Now Joshua, the 28th from Adam is given the task to finish what Moses had started. Joshua had two main assignments. First, he was to lead military expeditions to conquer the land. Second, he was to divide the land for the inheritance of the tribes. This book only covers about seven years of time. It is mainly a historical book, but the Bible never writes history for the sake of history itself. The underlying purpose is always divine purpose. This book is overwhelmingly positive. Israel met with unprecedented success. The book concludes with “there failed not aught for any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.“ (21.45)
