The Old Testament 6 - Joshua (EN) - Christopher Glyn
After the death of Moses, God calls on Joshua to lead the Israelites across the Jordan River and take possession of the promised land. The people swear their allegiance to Joshua, and he sends two spies across the river to investigate the territory. God guarantees victory in the military campaign and vows never to leave the Israelites so long as they obey his laws.
Rahab tells the spies that the Canaanites are afraid of Israel and its miraculous successes. The men enter Jericho, where a prostitute named Rahab hides them in her home and lies to the city officials regarding the spies’ presence. Professing belief in the God of the Israelites, she asks for protection for her family when the Israelites destroy Jericho.
The spies pledge to preserve Rahab and return to Joshua, telling him of the weakened condition of Israel’s enemies.
