Writer(s): JoshuaPlace Written: Canaan
Writing Completed: c. 1450 B.C.E.
Time Covered: 1473 - c. 1450 B.C.E.
This Bible book provides a vital link in the history of the Israelites by showing how God's promises to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were fulfilled. Probably covering a period of more than 20 years (1473-c. 1540 B.C.E.), it tells of the conquest of Canaan, followed by the distribution of the land to the Israelites; and it concludes with Joshua's discourses encouraging faithfulness to Jehovah.
The fact that the book contains ancient names for cities (Jos 14:15; 15:15) and detailed instructions and then relates how these were carried out indicates that it is a contemporary record. (For example see Jos 1:11-18;2:14-22; 3:2-4:24; 6:22, 23.) In fact, the writer identifies himself as living at the same time as Rahab of Jericho and therefore as an eyewitness. - 6:25.
