1. What is the main content of Joshua

● The main content of the Book of Joshua in the Bible revolves around the
Israelites' conquest and settlement of the Promised Land under the
leadership of Joshua, who was the successor of Moses. The book begins
with the death of Moses and focuses on the crossing of the Jordan River by
the Israelites, the fall of the city of Jericho, and the subsequent military
campaigns to capture and divide the land among the twelve tribes of Israel. It
also describes various battles, victories, and defeats encountered by the
Israelites as they establish their presence in Canaan. The book concludes
with Joshua's farewell address to the people of Israel and his passing away.

● Who is Joshua - He was selected by Moses to be his successor and lead

the Israelites, who had been wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, into
the Promised Land of Canaan. He is often described as a military leader,
strategist, and the one who carried out the conquest of Canaan.

● He calls them to turn away from the Canaanite gods and be faithful to the
