# Joshua 01 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
This chapter appears to be a natural continuation of the book of Deuteronomy.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Be strong and Courageous
|
||||
|
||||
Joshua is often told, "Be strong and courageous." This repeated encouragement is on purpose and may indicate Joshua will need help in the future.

# Joshua 02 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
This chapter begins the story of the conquest of the Promised Land. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rahab's faith
|
||||
|
||||
Rahab expressed her faith in Yahweh. The statement "for Yahweh your God, he is God in heaven above and on the earth below" is a recognition of her faith. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/heaven]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Metaphor
|
||||
|
||||
The Israelites were to completely destroy the evil Canaanites. They are compared to melting snow: "... melting away because of us." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/evil]])

# Joshua 03 General Notes
|

|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### God dries the Jordan River
|
||||
|
||||
Joshua told the people "Dedicate yourselves to Yahweh tomorrow, for Yahweh will do wonders among you." The conquest of the Promised Land is accomplished through the supernatural power of God. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/miracle]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]])

# Joshua 04 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### God's war
|
||||
The conquering of the Promised Land was a special war. It was God's war against the people of Canaan and Joshua recognized that they would only be victorious through Yahweh's power. This is why their first act after crossing the Jordan River was to build an altar. This war was a witness to Yahweh's power. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]])

# Joshua 05 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Circumcision
|
||||
|
||||
It would have been very unusual to be circumcised in a time of war. When men are circumcised they are unable to move without pain or to defend themselves in battle for several days. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/circumcise]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Manna
|
||||
|
||||
Yahweh stops providing manna in this chapter and will no longer provide them with their daily allotment of food. This does not mean Yahweh's care and provision will stop.

# Joshua 06 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Yahweh conquers
|
||||
|
||||
It was God, not the army, who gave them victory. It is said, "Shout! For Yahweh has given you the city." The circumstances of Israel's victory in the battle for Jericho were very unusual. It was never common to march around a city or to shout in order to win a military battle. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

|

### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|

#### Sin brought defeat
|
||||
|
||||
It was a great sin to take what was to be destroyed. Because of their sin, Yahweh withheld victory from the Israelites. Sin resulted in defeat in battle. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

### Special concepts in this chapter

|

#### Sin brought defeat
|
||||
It was a great sin to take what was to be destroyed. Because of their sin, Yahweh withheld victory from the Israelites. Sin resulted in defeat in battle. Because they repented, Yahweh brought victory to Israel in Ai. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Built an altar
|
||||
Altars were commonly built in the Ancient Near East to commemorate important events. Several altars were built in the Book of Joshua.

# Joshua 09 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Israel's mistake
|
||||
|
||||
Israel was deceived because "they did not consult with Yahweh for guidance." Instead of consulting Yahweh, they attempted to achieve victory under their own power. This was sinful. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

# Joshua 10 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
The ULB sets the lines in 10:12-13 farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because they are a poem.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### "For Yahweh was waging war on behalf of Israel"
|
||||
Israel's conquest of the Promised Land was Yahweh's war on the ungodly Canaanites more than Israel's war. This type of war was different from other wars and God gave Israel special instructions. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/godly]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Idiom
|
||||
|
||||
The people of Gibeon used an idiom when they called for help from Israel: "Do not withdraw your hands," meaning "do not stop protecting." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

# Joshua 11 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Yahweh overcomes the united forces of the northern kingdoms
|
||||
|
||||
Yahweh said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid in their presence, because tomorrow at this time I am giving them all to Israel as dead men." Even when the kingdoms of Canaan joined forces, they were not able to overcome the power of Yahweh.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
|
||||
#### "Yahweh gave the enemy into the hand of Israel"
|
||||
This phrase may present difficulties in translation. The translator should ensure that Yahweh receives credit for Israel's victory. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

# Joshua 13 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
This chapter begins a section about dividing the land between the tribes of Israel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Division of the land
|
||||
|
||||
There was still much land to be captured west of the Jordan River, but the tribe of Reuben, Gad and half of the tribe of Mannasah received their land east of the Jordan. This land had been promised to them in Numbers 32.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Driving out the people
|
||||
|
||||
While Yahweh achieved many great victories through Joshua, Israel was still supposed to drive out the rest of the Canaanites. Israel's success in this would depend on their faith in Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith]])

#### Manasseh's lack of faith

#### Cities of Refuge
|
||||
|
||||
If a person was killed, it was the duty of his relatives to kill the killer. If the death was an accident, this would be unfair. Therefore, God told the Israelites to make cities of refuge for a person who killed someone accidentally. In the city where he sought refuge, his case would be solved legally: "Do this so that one who unintentionally kills a person can go there. These cities will be a place of refuge from anyone who seeks to avenge the blood of a person who was killed." (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/refuge]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/avenge]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/blood]])

The division of the land is completed in this chapter. Additionally, the soldiers who received land on the east side of the Jordan River were released to go home.

### Special concepts in this chapter

#### The tribes east of the Jordan River build a monument
|
||||
|
||||
The tribes east of the Jordan River said, "Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offerings nor for any sacrifices, but to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we will perform the service of Yahweh before him, with our burnt offerings and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your children will never say to our children in time to come, 'You have no share in Yahweh.'" They went home even though the Israelites had not fully conquered the land.

# Joshua 23 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Joshua's final words to Israel (Joshua 23-24)
|
||||
|
||||
"Do not marry with the heathen people but drive them out."
|
||||
|
||||
#### Drive them out
|
||||
The Israelites were to completely drive out the Canaanites. If they did not drive them out completely, the Canaanites would cause the Israelites to worship other gods. It was sinful to allow the Canaanites to remain in the land because if the Israelites married the Canaanites, the Canaanites would cause them to worship other gods. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Joshua's instructions
|
||||
In this chapter, Joshua gives the leaders and people instructions in preparation for his death. It was common in the Ancient Near East for important leaders to do this. Unfortunately, the people of Israel did not listen to Joshua's instructions.

# Introduction to Joshua
|
||||
|
||||
## Part 1: General Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
### Outline of the Book of Joshua
|
||||
|
||||
1. Conquest of the land of Canaan (1:1–12:24)
|
||||
- Preparation for conquest; spies; crossing the Jordan River (1:1–5:1)
|
||||
- Ceremonies at Gilgal; conquest of Jericho and Ai (5:2–8:29)
|
||||
- The covenant affirmed at Shechem (8:30–35)
|
||||
- Southern and central campaigns; northern campaigns (9:1–12:24)
|
||||
1. Settlement in the Promised Land; division of the land (13:1–22:34)
|
||||
1. Joshua's final days (23:1–24:33)
|
||||
|
||||
### What is the Book of Joshua about?
|
||||
|
||||
The Book of Joshua is about the Israelites entering and occupying the Promised Land. Joshua was the leader that replaced Moses. He led the Israelites as they fought the people living in the Promised Land. This book also tells how the Israelites divided the land among the twelve tribes. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]])
|
||||
|
||||
### How should the title of this book be translated?
|
||||
|
||||
This book traditionally has the title "Joshua" because Joshua leads the people of Israel after Moses dies. Translators may create a title such as "The Book About When Joshua Led Israel." Translators should avoid a title that suggests Joshua as the writer of the book.
|
||||
|
||||
### Who wrote the Book of Joshua?
|
||||
|
||||
The book does not tell who wrote it. However, some verses in the book indicate that Joshua may have written at least part of it. Since ancient times, Jews have thought that Joshua wrote most of the book.
|
||||
|
||||
## Part 2: Important Religious and Cultural Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### How does the Book of Joshua present the cause of historical events?
|
||||
|
||||
In the ancient Near East, people assumed that gods caused world events to happen in a certain way. The Book of Joshua has some similarities with this view, but there are important differences. The events in the Book of Joshua occurred because Yahweh promised the Israelites that he would give them the Promised Land. What happened also depended on whether or not the Israelites obeyed Yahweh.
|
||||
|
||||
## Part 3: Important Translation Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### What does the phrase "to this day" mean?
|
||||
|
||||
This phrase was used by the writer to refer to the time when he was writing. The translator should be aware that "to this day" refers to a time already passed. He must avoid giving the impression to readers that "to this day" means "to the present day." The translator might decide to say "to this day, at the time when this was being written," or "to this day, at the time of writing." This Hebrew phrase occurs in Joshua 4:9; 6:25; 7:26; 8:28, 29; 10:27; 13:13; 14:14; 15:63; 16:10.
|
||||
|
||||
### What does the phrase "all Israel" mean?
|
||||
|
||||
This phrase appears many times in the Book of Joshua, but it does not always mean every person in the nation of Israel. At times it means the Israelite army. At other times it means the representatives of the twelve tribes of Israel. In still other passages, it probably means a large number of the people in the nation of Israel.
|
||||
|
||||
### When should Joshua be translated?
|
||||
|
||||
The Book of Joshua should probably not be translated before Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. This is because the historical events of Joshua will not be understood without the information in these previous books.
