JoshuaThe successor of Moses, chosen by God to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. He is a central figure in the book of Joshua and is known for his faithfulness and leadership. 2. Moses The servant of God who led the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness. God made promises to Moses regarding the land that would be given to the Israelites. 3. The Promised Land The land of Canaan, which God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It represents God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises. 4. The Israelites The chosen people of God, descendants of Abraham, who are about to enter and take possession of the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership. 5.

Teaching Points God's FaithfulnessGod is faithful to His promises. Just as He promised Moses, He fulfills His word to Joshua. Believers can trust in God's promises in their own lives. Leadership and Obedience Joshua's leadership is marked by obedience to God's commands. Effective leadership in the Christian life involves following God's guidance and commands. Claiming God's Promises The act of setting foot on the land symbolizes actively claiming God's promises. Believers are encouraged to step out in faith and claim the spiritual promises God has given them. Courage and Strength Joshua is called to be strong and courageous. Christians are encouraged to rely on God's strength and courage in facing life's challenges. Continuity of God's Plan The transition from Moses to Joshua shows the continuity of God's plan. Believers can be assured that God's plans are unchanging and will be fulfilled in His timing.(3) Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you.--The conquest of Canaan was the special duty assigned to Joshua by the word of Moses. (Hence the order for the extermination of Amalek was written for Joshua [Exodus 17:14] as the representative conqueror, though he did not actually carry it out.) But the conquest of Canaan, as effected by Joshua, must be carefully defined. It was a limited conquest. He took a certain number of strongholds throughout the country, and utterly crushed the armies that were opposed to him in the field. He established the people of Israel in the position that he had won. (See Joshua 12:9-24 for an outline of the position.) He then divided to the tribes of Israel the whole territory, conquered and unconquered alike (see Joshua 13:1-7). The Philistines and Sidonians (or Phoenicians) are examples of two great nations not conquered by Joshua, but assigned to Israel for an inheritance. Thus it appears that what Israel would conquer, the sole of his foot must tread. The conquest which Joshua began for the people, must be carried out in detail by the several tribes themselves. For a further discussion of the relation of Joshua's conquest to the whole history of Israel, see Note on Joshua 13:2.Verse 3. - Every place that the sole of your foot doth tread upon. These words are a quotation, almost word for word, from Deuteronomy 11:24, but the original promise is to be found in Genesis 12:1-7, with which we may compare Genesis 13:14-17; Genesis 15:18; Genesis 17:8. Comp. also Joshua 14:9; Exodus 23:30, 31, etc. It was God's purpose that the whole land should belong to the children of Israel; a purpose which, as usual in Hebrew prophecy, is signified by the use of the perfect tense here. The conquest was intended to be complete. Not a foot's breadth was to rest in the hands of its former owners. But here, as elsewhere in Holy Writ, we may mark the way in which man's sin and want of faith has marred the purposes of God. In the Book of Judges we read that the Canaanites were not only not driven out, but that the children of Israel made marriages with them, worshipped their gods, and practised their abominations. Jerusalem remained in the hands of the Jebusites until the time of David, while the Philistines remained in possession of their portion of Palestine until it was reduced under the power of the king of Babylon. We may observe that, according to all the ordinary laws of criticism, this citation of Deuteronomy is a proof that that Book existed when the Book of Joshua was written. For the cumbrous scheme of Elohists, Jehovists, Deuteronomists, and the like, by which this natural conclusion is overruled, see Introduction. Have I given it. The preterite here denotes God's purpose (cf. Genesis 1:29). Parallel Commentaries ...
