Lesson 18: “Be Strong and of a Good Courage” (Joshua 1–6; Joshua 23–24)

Who is Joshua? (Numbers 13-14)

  • One of the 12 spies. See Num 13:1-16—Joshua is "Osea" in verse 8. Notice that there is one spy from each of 12 tribes (incl. Reuben), except Levi (Joshua is from Ephraim, and a spy is sent from Manassah).
  • Only Joshua and Caleb showed faith. Whereas most spies complained (cf. Num 14:26-33, esp. verse 28), Caleb and Joshua showed faith in God's promises (cf. Num 13:30; Num 14:6-10). Because of such faith, Joshua and Caleb were excepted from the prophibition on entering the promised land (cf. 14:15-39, esp. verse 24 and verse 30).

Joshua's calling (Joshua 1)

  • Soles of feet. See Josh 1:3 commentary regarding God's gift of delivering enemies to be tread upon vs. Israel having to walk by faith.
  • Be strong and of good courage. Notice this phrase is repeated 3 times in verse 6-9.
  • Joshua as a good soldier. See Josh 1:10-11 commentary.
  • Rest. Regarding use of the term "rest" in verse 13 and 15, see this subpage.
  • Put to death. See Josh 1:18 commentary for BOM parallel.

Crossing Jordan (Joshua 3-4)

  • As soon as. See Josh 3:13 commentary regarding the "stepping beyond the edge of the light" aspect of faith.
  • Stone memorial. Josh 4:19-24 discuss the stone memorial erected after crossing the Jordan River.


Battle of Jericho (Joshua 2 and 6)

  • Rahab. See Josh 2:1 commentary for NT mentions of Rahab's faith.
  • Walls came down. (Josh 6...)

Other readings

  • Joshua 5: Who's the host of the Lord here??
  • Joshua 7: Communal consequences of individual sin....
  • others....
