AnswerThere are so many parallels between the story of Moses and that of Joshua, that some say that the Joshua narrative is almost a retelling of the Moses story. Joshua 3:7, "And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee."

Two example of these parallels:Just as Moses parted the Red Sea, so Joshua parted the Jordan River. Just as Moses sent two spies, Joshua and Caleb, to the Promised Land, so Joshua sent two spies to Jericho. There is strong evidence that Joshua was originally a sun-god, before being depicted as a founder of Israel. Some say, from analysing the biblical evidence, that Moses was also originally a sun-god for the very early Hebrew people.

How many years between Abraham and Joshua?

The time of Abraham (in The Bible) was estimated by scholars to be some time between 2000 BC and 1850 BC. Abraham died at the age of 175 years. (Gen 25:7), which would be between 1820 BC and 1675 BC. Biblical scholars calculated the time that Joshua led Israel into land of Canaan around 1240 BC at which time he would have been around 60 years old (ca. 1300 BC). Joshua died at the age of 110 (Joshua 24:29). So, between the death of Abraham and the birth of Joshua was about 400 years.
