The book of Joshua, He is the author of most of this book. After the death of Moses, Joshua took over to lead the people to the promise Land. God said to Joshua, Moses my servant is dead; arise go over this Jordan, thou and all this people. No one shall stand in your way, as was with Moses, I will be with you. Be strong and of a good courage, for unto this people shall thou divide for an inheritance. only be thou strong and very courageous, that they observe to do according to all the law, which Moses commanded thee. And Joshua send out spy secretly,saying go and spy out the land,even to Jericho, and they went and came to Rahab the harlel’s house, and the king was told; and he send Men to Rahab’s house saying, bring the Men that came to your house, because they are spies, they came to search out the country, she told the men, that the two Men that came to her house left, go quickly she said, you might over take them the men left at her saying.
She hid the men on the roof till it was dark, and the gate closed. she said to the two spies, I know that the Lord hath given you the Land; and that terror is fallen upon us, and the inhabitants of the Land faint because of you. for we heard how the Lord your God; dried up the water, of the Red Sea for you; when you came out of Egept. and when we heard it, our hearts did melt; neither was any courage remain in us , because of you. The Lord your God He is God, in Heaven above, and in Earth beneath. Joshua 2:4-20, Now I pray that you show kindness, to me and my father’s house. so they said when we come into the Land thou shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you let us down with. And you shall bring your Father, your mother, and thy brethren, and all your fathers house to your home.
Joshua 6: The Lord said unto Joshua, see I have given Jericho in your hand; you shall compass the city, all the men of war; and go round about the city once. thou shall do this six days.on the seventh day the priests shall bear before thee the Ark, seven trumpets, of Ram’s horn: on the seventh day you shall compass the city seven times, and the priest shall blow with the trumpets.6: 20, so the people shouted when the priest blew with the trumpets:they shout with a great shout. And the walls of Jericho fell down flat, the people took the city, and save Rahab and all her fathers house. 7: 19 -26 Achan and his house hold, was stoned to death for stealing. you connot serve God in your heart if you are serving strange god. 24: 28- 29, so Joshua let all the people depart to there inheritance. so Joshua the son of Nun the servant of the Lord died; being one hundred and ten years old. and they buried him.
