The Bible Old Testament/Tanakh Genesis | Exodus | Joshua | Judges | Ruth | Samuel | Kings | Ezra | Nehemiah | Esther | Job | Psalms | Proverbs | Ecclesiastes | Songs | Isaiah | Jeremiah | Ezekiel | Daniel | Hosea | Joel | Amos | Obadiah | Jonah | Micah | Nahum | Habakkuk | Zephania | Haggai | Zechariah | Malachi Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical Tobit | Judith | Maccabees New Testament Gospels | Acts | Romans | Corinthians | Galatians | Ephesians | Philippians | Colossians | Thessalonians | Timothy | Titus | Philemon | Hebrews | James | Peter | John | Jude | RevelationThe Book of Joshua is the sixth book of The Bible.After the death of Moses, it was Joshua who became the leader of the Israelite people. Joshua now intends to lead a new generation into a new homeland whilst destroying the Canaanites in their way.The Jewish structure holds Joshua to be the second book of the Nevi'im (Prophets), the second part of the Tanakh. With Judges, Samuel and Kings, they form the Nevi'im Reshonim (Former Prophets), in contrast with the Latter Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, etc.). In the Christian Bible, on the other hand, Joshua and the other aforementioned Former Prophets are considered part of the "Historical Books" (along with Ruth, Esther, and Chronicles).Joshua is followed by the Book of Judges.

 Book of Joshua / int_1c398324
comment
Death from Above: In chapter 10, God helps the Israelites who were at war with the armies of the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon by casting down hailstones on the enemy armies so that more died by hailstones than by the Israelites' hands.

Time Stands Still: In Joshua chapter 10, God caused time to stand still for a full day (though without freezing anything else besides the sun and the moon) so that the Israelites could have the victory over the Amorites.

Bedsheet Ladder: In chapter 2, Rahab helps the two Israelite spies escape Jericho by letting them down the wall of the city with a scarlet cord tied to her window. The spies in return tell her to keep the cord tied to her window as a sign that everyone who is in her house at the time when the Israelites sack Jericho are to be spared.

comment
Cursed Item: Joshua after the Israelite sacking of Jericho pronounces all items in the city cursed except for the gold and silver and other precious items. Achan, out of his own personal greed, pays no attention to the curse and takes a Babylonian garment from the ruins of the city, and thus plagues the camp of Israel with a curse that is only lifted when Achan, his whole family, and all that he owned were put to death and buried in the Valley of Achor.

Lottery of Doom: How the Israelites found out Achan had taken stuff from Jericho. Joshua called all the congregation of Israel together at the instruction of the Lord, and the Lord called out the tribe of Judah, then He called out of family of the Zarhites, then the household of Zabdi, then man by man called out Achan.

 Book of Joshua / int_8976acda
comment
Civil War: The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the eastern half of Manasseh almost bring the rest of their nation into this when they built an altar beside the Jordan River, until they explain that the purpose of the altar is to remind the people on the west side of the Jordan that the people on the east side are also God's people and will worship at the same altar that is in the place God had chosen. The other tribes seemed satisfied with the explanation and ceased from going to war with their brothers over the altar, calling it Witness.

Quit Your Whining
 Book of Joshua / int_9f037665
comment
Quit Your Whining: In chapter 7, Achan stole some cursed things devoted to destruction, and it ended up plaguing all the camp of Israel. When Joshua set his sights on conquering Ai and he sends a small contingent to deal with them, Ai responded by sending the contingent running, killing at least thirty-six of their men, causing the camp of Israel to mourn, and making Joshua whine to the Lord that they would be better off on the other side of the Jordan than trying to capture the land of Canaan if that's how they're going to be dealt with. The Lord ends up saying, "Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?", telling them that Israel has sinned by stealing stuff that was devoted to destruction and that it must be dealt with or else the Lord will not continue to help them conquer the land.

Dungeon Bypass: Rather than try to get through the heavily defended and fortified walls of the city of Jericho, Joshua and the Israelites paraded around the city for days before blowing their trumpets. This caused the walls to crumble completely. With the divine help of God.

Curse
 Book of Joshua / int_c2e295cd
comment
Curse: In Joshua chapter 6, after Jericho is sacked, Joshua pronounces a curse on whoever rebuilds the city, saying that he will lose his firstborn with the foundations and his youngest child at the setting up of its gates. This came true during during the time of King Ahab in 1st Kings. In Joshua chapter 9, Joshua cursed the Gibeonites to be servants to the people of Israel when the Gibeonites deceived the Israelites into believing that they came from a far-off country and were only discovered to be living in the land of Canaan as neighbors after the Israelites made a pact with them before the Lord.

Would Be Rude to Say "Genocide"
 Book of Joshua / int_de56f2bf
comment
Would Be Rude to Say "Genocide": The conquest of Canaan. The book more or less explicitly states that with a few exceptions, the Israelites systematically exterminated the population (including civilians, children, and livestock) of the country and did so righteously. Every tribe behaved back then like that.

Circumcision Angst: In chapter 5, God has His people Israel circumcise those who have been born in the wilderness after they have crossed the Jordan into Gilgal, which is where they camped until everyone that was circumcised was healed. Fortunately in that circumstance, the angst part of it was averted.

Talking Is a Free Action: Joshua needed the Israelites to shout when the trumpets were blown on the seventh lap around Jericho. So when the moment comes, he tells them to shout...and then proceeds to keep talking for three more verses. The next verse, however, says that the people shouted as soon as they heard the trumpets.
