The importance of Joshua to the Hebrew people was that he was believed to have led the conquest of Canaan. Against this is that over eighty per cent of scholars believe there was no military conquest of Canaan as described in The Bible. They say that the Palestinian hinterland was largely unpopulated, with no walled cities to conquer, until a peaceful influx of Hebrew people occurred around 1250 BCE.

Answer:According to our tradition, Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan (Joshua ch.3-4).
