Book of Joshua e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It may be divided into three parts: I. The conquest of the land, ch. I. - xii.; though, as a matter of arrangement, if one preferred it, the earlier chapters might be placed separately as an introduction, with the history of the crossing of the Jordan, and the restoration of the people to the full enjoyment of their privileges as the professing Church of God. II. The allotment made of the land to the tribes, including along with this the appointment of the cities of refuge, and the provision of cities for the Levites, ch. Xiii. - xxi. Perhaps ch. Xxii. May be regarded as an appendix to this, the dismissal of the eastern tribes to their homes, and the jealousy for purity of worship other wise it might be classed with the two chapters which follow. III. The jealousy of Joshua for the godliness and obedience of the people, which involved their future welfare and a few closing verses which tell of the death of him and his companions and fellow-workers, ch. Xxiii. Xxiv.
