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

Who is Joshua

  • 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).
