11 - March 14

(Readings Mar 7-Mar 13)

11. Conquest of Canaan
Deuteronomy 31 – Joshua 21

Key Point:
This section reveals how God brought His chosen nation into the Promised Land. It records the triumph for faithful obedience to God.

Key Verse:
“So the Lord gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their forefathers, and they took possession of it and settled there” (Joshua 21:43 ; DB page 338).

Main People:
Moses, Joshua, Rahab, Achan

Outline:
Renewal of the Covenant (Deut. 28-34)
    Transfer of leadership to Joshua, Moses’ final words, Moses’ death and burial
Preparation for Conquest (Joshua 1-5)
Joshua replaces Moses, the faith of Rahab, crossing the Jordan River
The Taking of Jericho and Ai (Joshua 6-8)
Jericho’s walls fall, Ai defeats Israel, the sin of Achan, Israel ambushes Ai
General Conquest of Canaan (Joshua 9-1)
    Southern and Northern Canaan are taken
Division of the Promised Land (Joshua 13-2 )
Settlement of the tribes east and west of the Jordan, settlement of the religious community


Thought Questions:

1.    Was Rahab spared because of her lie or in spite of her lie? Is it ever right to lie?

2.    What is the significance of Joshua calling on the people to consecrate themselves?

3.    Why did Joshua set up the monument at Gilgal (Joshua 4:19-24,DB page 316)? What is the lesson for us?

4.    Why did God command the complete extermination of the Canaanites? How can such apparent brutality be justified?

5.    What was the significance of the fall of Jericho?

6.    Why was Achan’s family killed along with Achan? Did they participate in his sin?

7. What lessons did the conquest teach future generations of Israelites? Are those lessons for us as well?
