These chapters tell of the division of the land given to Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. When the people explain to Joshua that their lot was too small he told them to take possession of a wood country but the people were afraid of the inhabitants that had iron chariots. Joshua reminded them of God's command not to be afraid but to take possession by His power.
Does God issue any commands in this passage?
- God does not speak.
Does God make any promises?
- God does not speak, but the chapters we are reading are reminders that God keeps His promises.
Does this passage teach anything about Jesus?
- Joshua reminds the people to get on with their work in the power of their God. That is one of the works of Jesus also. We are to be about the Father's work because we are more than conquerors.
Does this passage teach anything about yet-future events?
- None that I identified.
