Joshua Leadership · −1406 – −1375

1. Shittim −1406 – −1406
Moses is dead and Joshua takes command on the plains of Moab. He sends two spies across the river, and Rahab hides them.
2. Jericho −1406 – −1406
The Jordan stops flowing and Israel crosses. They circle the city for seven days, the shofars sound, and the walls come down.
3. Ai −1405 – −1405
A first attack fails because of Achan's sin. The second succeeds, through an ambush behind the city.
4. Mount Ebal −1405 – −1405
In the heart of the land Joshua builds an altar and reads the whole Torah to the people, as blessings and curses ring out between two mountains.
5. Gibeon −1404 – −1404
The Gibeonites trick Israel into a treaty. When five kings attack them, Joshua marches through the night: sun, stand still at Gibeon.
6. Hazor −1400 – −1400
The kings of the north gather under Jabin. Joshua defeats them at the waters of Merom and burns Hazor, the greatest of those kingdoms.
7. Shiloh −1399 – −1380
The Tabernacle is set up here, and the land is divided by lot among the tribes.
8. Timnath-serah −1379 – −1375
He settles on his own portion in the hills of Ephraim. He gathers the people one last time, renews the covenant, and is buried here.
