DIMENSION TWO: WHAT DOES THE BIBLE MEAN?

Background Information on Joshua 1–3

The Book of Joshua is one part of a larger literary work called the Deuteronomic history. This history runs from Deuteronomy all the way through Second Kings and charts the history of Israel, from the conquest of the land to the fall of Jerusalem. The Book of Ruth was not originally part of this work.

The final form of the Deuteronomic history was written during the Exile, about 550 BC, to explain why God's people were in exile. When Jerusalem fell in 586 BC, the Israelites felt that God had broken the promise to give them the Promised Land and make them a nation. No doubt the Israelites had many questions about God's faithfulness when they did not get all the things they expected. The Deuteronomic history was written in response to these questions to explain that God had not broken the covenant with the people of Israel. The Israelites were the ones who had broken their promise to obey God's laws.

Beginning with these laws of God (Deuteronomy), the Deuteronomic history shows how Israel continually acts against God's will. In Deuteronomy, God promises Israel success if the people obey the laws. If they go against God's will, they will be punished. The history shows that God is not at fault for Israel's suffering. Israel alone bears the burden of guilt. In fact, the books of Joshua and Judges tell how God continuously shows mercy to Israel when the people should have been punished.

Throughout Israel's history, God commands the Israelites to be loyal. But finally God can no longer ignore the sins of the people. Judgment must fall. They must be sent into exile in order to shock them back to their primary loyalty to God. The Deuteronomic history chronicles this interaction of God's law, judgment, prophetic word, and mercy with Israel's continual disobedience. The history's final purpose is to call the people back to God by reminding them that the Lord is a merciful God. If Israel turns to God in faith, God will surely restore the covenant with the people.

As we look at Joshua and Judges, we are told of Israel invading and securing the Promised Land. We need to keep in mind that the end of the Deuteronomic history is the story of the loss of the land through the people's disobedience. Joshua, Judges, and First Samuel portray God graciously giving the land to an Israel that does not deserve it. Second Samuel and First and Second Kings record how God passes judgment on Israel.

Joshua 1:14. You can set the stage for this unit by showing the borders of the Promised Land as they are described in verse 4. (Use a map of the ancient Near East. You will find one in the back of many Bibles, or perhaps your church has wall-size maps available). You may also want to pinpoint Mount Nebo, where Moses died; Shittim, where the Israelites camp while the spies go into the land (Joshua 2:1); and Jericho (Joshua 2:1).

Joshua 1:5-9. In these verses, God promises to be with Joshua during the conquest. God says, "As I was with Moses, so I will be with you" (v. 5). We can note, then, that the idea of Immanuel — God with us — belongs to the earliest sections of the Bible. In the...
