Joshua is a leader that one need to emulate
Ineed just the summary
thankyou for summarising the book of Joshua it was very helpful
V 27 ‘See!’ he said to all the people. ‘This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the Lord has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.’
This verse reminds me of Luke 19: 40 "I tell you," if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."
•Joshua calls together all the tribes of Israel to Shechem.
•In true old man style, Joshua recounts the stories found in the books of Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, and of course, the conquest of Canaan.
•Joshua is trying to get the Israelites to understand the greatness they have been a part of all thanks to the favor of God (1-13).
•Joshua tells the people not to serve other gods, specifically the gods beyond the Euphrates that Abraham's father served, the gods of Egypt, and the gods of the Amorites. The people promise that they will not serve other gods. They recount the things that God has done for them (14-18).
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
These are the summaries of the book of Joshua.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
