Yahweh's victory
The chapter explains that Israel's conquering of the Promised Land will be done by Yahweh. They are not to fear the people of Canaan but be obedient to Yahweh. Yahweh is bringing about his judgement upon the people of Canaan. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/judge)
Possessing the land
While the Promised Land belongs to Israel, they do not possess the land. Possessing the land is an important theme. Posessing the land depended on Israel's faithfulness. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faithful)
