The book of Joshua was written by him except the account of his death in chapter 24. The date of writing could be as early as 1400 B.C., or as late as 1200 B.C. In this book the Israelites cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan with Joshua now the heir to Moses’ leadership. There are two distinct parts to the book, the first describes the conquest of Canaan, the second gives explicit details of the dividing of the land among the tribes.

Probably the most recognized scriptures in the book are those describing the story of Joshua and the Israelites’ conquest of the city of Jericho (6:1-6:27).

I. Entering the land of Canaan and conquering it, 1:1-12:24
II. Dividing the land, 13:1-21:45
III. Joshua’s farewell, 22:1-24:33
