The Book of Joshua presents God as cruel and ruthlessly focussed on the well-being of his chosen people, unconcerned at the fate or well-being of all others. In this book, he commands Joshua to commit genocide in city after city. Fortunately, we now know that the events portrayed in the Book of Joshua never really happened, as archaeologists have shown that there was no unified military conquest of the Canaanite cities mentioned in this book. The strong consensus of scholars is that the Israelites were not conquerors, but were themselves Canaanites who migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities to settle peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.
The central theme of the book of Joshua is about the Israelites entering and conquering the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership. It emphasizes faithfulness, courage, obedience to God, and the importance of trusting in God's promises.

The Book of Joshua is Yehoshu'a (יהושוע)
As the Israelites left Egypt on their exodus, Joshua was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to reconnoiter the land of Canaan. Joshua and Caleb were the only two who had confidence that God would give Israel the land of Canaan despite its formidable inhabitants. Because of their faith God allowed Joshua and Caleb to enter the promised land, but he vowed that the others of Joshua's generation would die in the wilderness. God instructed Moses to designate Joshua as his successor. Joshua led the Israelites into the promised land. The book of Joshua recounts his victories at Jericho, Ai, and other places.
Joshua asked God to make the sun stand still. This event is described in the Bible, specifically in the book of Joshua 10:12-14, where Joshua prays for the sun to halt in the sky to prolong daylight during a crucial battle against the Amorites. God granted his request, allowing the Israelites to achieve victory.
