A:According to the Book of Joshua, God instructed Joshua to bring down the walls of Jericho and gave him a strategy for the conquest of the city of Ai. He also instructed Joshua to murder every single person in the cities they conquered, so that they could never rise up against the Israelites.

In defence of God, at least in respect to the acts of genocide, it should be stated that almost all scholars now believe that there was no biblical invasion of Canaan. Jericho and Ai had already been abandoned long before the time attributed to Joshua, and almost every city identified with the invasion either did not exist at that time or shows no sign of conquest at the relevant time. The Israelites had arrived peacefully from the region of the Canaanite coastal cities and settled into the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.

How did Moses carry on God's plan?

Not sure exactly what you mean by "carry on gods plan", but here's an answer to what I think you mean. Moses was able to go to Egypt, confront Pharoh, lead the people of Israel out of Egypt and lead them to the border of Canaan because God wanted it all to happen and worked miracles to make it happen. In the Bible, in the book of Exodus, Chapter 3, verse 8, God tells Moses His plan: "I am coming down to deliver [Israel] out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land into a good and large land, into a land flowing with milk and honey". Moses was able to lead, because God promised that He would lead Moses and help him. In Exodus chapter 3, verse 12, God says to Moses "I will be with you" to assure Moses that he'll be able to do all that God commanded him.
