∙ 11y agoJoshua is first mentioned in The Bible in the book of Numbers while the Israelites are journeying to the Promised Land. He was one of the people who scouted it out and sent back a report.He works as Moses' assistant and learns from him. Right before Moses died,God told him to appoint Joshua as the new leader of the people. Joshua leads the people across the Jordon river which God split just like the Red Sea and they conquer town after town, defeated giants and larger numbers,gained the land that God promised them. After conquering places such as modern Israel, Jerusalem,etc. He divided the land to eleven of the twelve tribes of Israel. The other tribe, the Levites, dwelled scattered among the eleven other tribes and managed the Tabernacle (The place where sacrifices and rituals were performed). Joshua then died after living a long life.

∙ 6y agoJoshua had been Moses' right-hand man since his youth (Numbers 11:28), and his chief disciple; and was constantly found in the tent of Torah where Moses taught (Exodus 33:11), so as not to miss a single word of Moses' teaching. 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). It was Joshua who led the Israelites into Canaan (Joshua ch.1).

In Joshua 1:1-9 God encouraged Joshua. God spoke directly to Joshua encouraging him to enter the promise land with the people of Israel.

There were more encouraging words that God used to speak to Joshua so that he would have courage. The question I ask is why did God use these words? God chose His words carefully before speaking to Joshua. God would only use such words if He knew that Joshua needed it. Maybe Joshua was not sure of the task ahead?

After God had encouraged Joshua - Joshua had the courage to cross over and take possession of the promise land. God gave Joshua courage.
