He could be trusted to reach correct decisions (Numbers ch.13-14); and was successful in battle too (Exodus ch.17).As Moses approached the time when he would have to hand over the helm of leadership, Joshua turned out to be the best choice to carry on, and God named him as Moses' successor (Numbers ch.27).See also:What difficulties did Joshua face?Contents of the Book of JoshuaWhy did they kill the Canaanites?Timeline
